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.
