| biography:
| Illustrator and writer of children's books, born in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. He studied at Boston Museum School of Fine Arts, then served in the US army in the Mediterranean and North Africa. Didactic, detailed, and scatty, his output was prolific, and he was hugely popular with children tolerant of his formulaic approach. Typical titles are What Do People Do All Day? (1968) and Hop Aboard, Here We Go! (1972). |
