Warwick Hutton

Warwick Hutton

Warwick Hutton was a British painter, engraver, illustrator, and author. He is most widely known for elegant pen and ink and watercolor illustrations for children’s books. His subjects were Biblical, folk, and mythological stories which Hutton retold, such as "Noah and the Great Flood", "The Nose Tree", and "Theseus and the Minotaur". He also worked with texts by Hans Christian Andersen ("The Tinderbox") and with retellings of traditional stories by author Susan Cooper ("The Silver Cow", "The Selkie Girl", "Tam Lin").

The "Nose Tree" and "Jonah and the Big Fish" were chosen for The New York Times’s annual list of best-illustrated children's books. "Jonah and the Great Fish" was also the recipient of the 1984 Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Best Picture Book.

Hutton was born on July 17, 1939, and died of cancer on September 28, 1994, in Cambridge, England.
