The Bremen Town Musicians
Brian Wildsmith was raised in a small mining village in England, where, he says, Everything was gray. There wasn't any color. It was all up to my imagination … Since then Wildsmith has created over 200 picture books, which have been translated into more than twenty languages. He was awarded the Kate Greenaway Medal, Britain's highest honor for his ABC. Wildsmith is deservedly considered one of the greatest living children's book illustrators. In 1994 the Brian Wildsmith Art Museum was established in Izukogen, Japan.
