Appearing:
Hilda Offen is an award-winning children’s book author and illustrator with many best-selling books in print. She won the Smarties Gold Award for her picture book Nice Work Little Wolf (Happy Cat Books).
Hilda was born in Surrey and lived for the first part of her life on an entirely self-sufficient small-holding. She attended Reigate School of Art for three years and, when she had saved enough money by working for a printing firm, she became a freelance illustrator and worked for magazines and newspapers.
She then did an English degree at University College, London which she enjoyed very much. She illustrated many collections of Nursery Rhymes and Fairy Stories and wrote her first book RITA THE RESCUER. She followed this with two others, OLD WILLIAM AND THE SEVENTH SHEEP and MRS. LAMPKINS LODGER.
She continued writing and illustrating her own books and has now written more than a dozen. Hilda believes that "any book for children should be capable of firing the imagination."
