Familiar to both young and old, Quentin Blakeās entertaining and lively artworks are full of characters that have amused and inspired generations of readers. He is best-known for his collaborations on childrenās books, including those written by Michael Rosen, John Yeoman, Russell Hoban, and, most famously, Roald Dahl.
An artist for seven decades, Blakeās first drawings were published in Punch when he was just sixteen. He has also illustrated literary classics such as A Christmas Carol, Candide, and Don Quixote, and in the last twenty years, Blake has extended his practice to large-scale works for hospitals, libraries, and public spaces. He has received numerous prizes and awards for his illustration work, including the Whitbread Award, the Kate Greenaway Medal, and the international Bologna Ragazzi Award. In 1999, he was appointed the United Kingdomās first-ever Childrenās Laureate; he has won the Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustration, the highest international recognition given to creators of childrenās books; and he has been awarded a knighthood for āservices to illustration.ā
