Anthony Browne has been just appointed the sixth Children’s Laureate in the U.K. He won the 2000 Hans Christian Andersen Medal and is only the second illustrator chosen as Children’s Laureate.
Browne’s picture books include his much loved great ape characters. Gorilla and Willy the Wimp.
Anthony was funny, warm and honest. His ape characters are inspired by his father. The Hughenden was his last stop on his Australian tour, but he decided not to go to Darwin as he wanted to get back to his family and home in the UK. He was home sick. He also wanted to get back to his picture books.
