William Steig

William Steig was born in New York City in 1907. In a family where every member was involved in the arts, it was not surprising that Steig became an artist.

He published his first children's book, Roland the Minstrel Pig, in 1968, embarking on a new and very different career.

Steig's books reflect his conviction that children want the security of a devoted family and friends. When Sylvester, Farmer Palmer, Abel, Pearl, Gorky, Solomon, and Irene eventually get home, their families are all waiting, and beginning with Amos & Boris, friendship is celebrated in story after story.

Marjoke Henrichs

I was born in The Netherlands, but have lived and worked in the UK as an Artist and Theatre Designer for many years.

I paint semi abstract landscapes inspired by my immediate surroundings, marshes, the river, ditches and arable fields, the sounds of the water birds and Suffolk’s big skies.

After my two children had grown up, I studied an MA in children’s Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art and graduated in February 2019 with a distinction.
