About the author/illustrator (from Wikipedia)
John Strickland Goodall RBA RI (7 June 1908 – 2 June 1996) was a British writer, watercolour painter and illustrator, best known for his wordless picture books such as The Adventures of Paddy Pork, although his output included more conventional pictures, and illustrations for a wide range of publications (including the Radio Times) and books set in villages by the author Dora Saint, who wrote under the pen name of Miss Read”. Goodall became one of England’s most beloved artists due to the subject matter of his works, the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
