Ted Hughes (1930-1998) was born in Yorkshire. His first book, The Hawk in the Rain, was published in 1957 by Faber && Faber and was followed by many volumes of poetry and prose for adults and children. He received the Whitbread Book of the Year for two consecutive years for his last published collections of poetry, Tales from Ovid and Birthday Letters. He was Poet Laureate from 1984, and in 1998 he was appointed to the Order of Merit.

George Adamson was born in the Bronx, New York in 1913, the son of a master car builder for the Interboro-Rapid Transit Co. (IRT), Manhattan. He received his art training at the Mining and Technical College, Wigan, England and afterwards at Liverpool College of Art. From 1940 to 1946 he served in the RAF-for some time as an official war artist-and later lectured in engraving and illustration at Exeter College of Art, before working for the design group Byrne && Woudhuysen in London and then setting himself up as a full-time illustrator and cartoonist. He illustrated well over 80 books including several by Ted Hughes and worked extensively for Punch and Private Eye, as well as doing many cartoons for the Peterborough column of the Daily Telegraph.
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers in 1987.
