Helen Oxenbury(b.1938) in Ipswich,Suffolk, daughter of an architect.Attended Ipswich School of Art and then studied theatre design at the Central School of Arts and Crafts.She was assistant designer and then designer at Colchester Repertory Theatre and spent three years in Israel as a scene painter and designer for the Habinek Theatre,Tel-Aviv.On her return she
worked for television at Teddington and on
film sets at the Shepperton Studios.Her first book,'Numbers of Things',was published in 1967 and in 1969 she won the Kate Greenaway Medal with 'The Quangle
Wangle's Hat' and 'The Dragon of an Ordinary Family'.These and her other
subsequent picture books have been notable
for their humour and freshness, and often for their conceptualised,deliberate childlike iconography.A successful series of board books for Walker (publisher) in the 1980's established her as a household name.These were later followed by fourteen
'Tom and Pippo' books.She generally works in pen and ink, coloured with crayon, watercolour washes or gouache.She married the children's illustrator and writer John
Burningham (in 1964),himself,the first illustrator to win the Kate Greenaway Medal,twice.
