Born in Ipswich, Oxenbury suffered from asthma as a child which periodically left her bedridden – drawing became a favourite distraction and lifeline.She enrolled in the theatre arts department at London’s Central School of Art, and in 1957 she met fellow student and illustrator John Burningham, who she would later marry. Upon graduating, Oxenbury joined the Colchester Repertory Theatre and travelled to Habima, Israel’s national theatre, where she became a set designer.After the birth of their first child, Burningham encouraged Oxenbury to try illustrating children’s books herself and she didn’t look back. She has won numerous awards and illustrated over 30 children’s books throughout her 50-year career. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/754e28b0-bcbe-11f0-b7c6-b927f12f07fb-rimg-w572-h740-dc020301-gmir.jpg Nicolette JonesNicolette Jones is a writer and occasional broadcaster who has been the children’s books reviewer of the Sunday Times for decades, and written books about art and illustration – and maritime history.
