About this title

About the Author:

Edward Ardizzone was born on October 16, 1900, the eldest of five children. In 1905 his family moved to Ipswich, England, where they lived until Ardizzone was fourteen. He later wrote that "it was here that I learnt to know and love the little coastal steamers that I have drawn so often in the Tim books."

The beloved illustrator of more than 170 books, Mr. Ardizzone was awarded the Kate Greenaway Medal in 1956 and the CBE (Commander of the British Empire) in 1971. The adventures of Tim are firm favorites with readers young and old throughout the world. Mr. Ardizzone died in 1979.

Review:

"Some of the saltiest and most satisfying picture books created during the last generation." -- -Maurice Sendak

"Told and pictured by an adult genius [who] knows what childhood feels like when it is sad, glad and victorious." -- -Eleanor Farjeon
