Helen Gillian Oxenbury is an English illustrator and writer of children's picture books.Has twice won the annual Kate Greenaway Medal,the British librarians' award for illustration and been runner-up four times.For the 50th anniversary of that Medal (19552005),this edn, her 1999 illustrated edition of 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland',was named one of the top ten winning works. For over a hundred years,Lewis Carroll's classic story of logic and lunacy has delighted young and old alike,with many outstanding artists turning their hand to its illustration.Here,at last,is Helen Oxenbury's interpretation,which bears all of the special qualities that make her picture books so well-loved.Indeed,though unabridged,this is more abundantly illustrated,more of a picture book,than previous editions of the story.The topsy-turvy world of Wonderland and its memorable cast of characters - the White Rabbit,the Mad Hatter,the Cheshire Cat,the Queen of Hearts - are depicted with distinctive warmth and humour.The whole approach is contemporary and accessible: Alice herself is a chld of today - casually dressed, personable,spirited,a true Oxenbury child.This,then,is Helen Oxenbury's vision of Wonderland - and what a wondrous vision it is! Helen Oxenbury,born 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 scene painter and designer for the Habinek Theatre,Tel-Aviv.On her return she worked for television at Teddington and on film sets at 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 subsequent picture books have been notable for their humour and freshness,and often for their conceptualised,deliberate childlike iconography.She generally works in pen and ink,coloured with crayon,watercolour washes or gouache.She married the children's illustrator and writer John Burningham.
