Painter,etcher,illustrator and writer of children's books.His illustrative work is distinctive: he often works in colour or half-tone,creating luminous effects with veils of thinly diluted pigment over delicate pencil outlines; in his etched illustrations,he uses soft ground techniques to achieve subtle tonal gradations.His imagery,ostensibly decorative,humorous or with a sometimes child-like appearance,often has menacing
or bizarre overtones.He has won the Kate Greenaway Medal, the Francis Williams Memorial Prize (twice,1972+1977),the Silver Eagle Prize,at the Festival International du Livre,Nice
(1972),the Kurt Maschler 'Emil' Award (1982),the Children's Book Award (1982),and the Bologna Graphic Prize for Youth (1982).
