Peggy Fortnum

Peggy Fortnum (born Margaret Emily Noel Nuttall-Smith 1919 in Harrow, Middlesex [ [http://www.cambridgeprints.com/illustrators/FORTNUM.HTML Peggy Fortnum ] ] ) is an English illustrator. She worked as an art teacher, painter, and textile designer before becoming a full-time book illustrator. She has illustrated nearly sixty-five books to date. Fortnum resides in Essex, England. Her most well-known character is Paddington Bear. [Silvey, Anita, ed. "The Essential Guide to Children's Books and Their Creators", Houghton Mifflin books, 2002, p. 51. ISBN 0618190821]

Although her distinctive pen and ink drawings of Paddington were originally done in black and white, some of her work has subsequently been coloured by other artists, including her own niece, Caroline Nuttal-Smith.
