British painter and children's book illustrator Brian Wildsmith was highly influential in the realm of children's book publishing throughout the 1960s and 70s. He won the 1962 Kate Greenaway Medal for British children's book illustration for the wordless alphabet book ABC and was a runner-up for the Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 1966 and 1968. In each of Wildsmith's books, the illustrations are just as important as the text. Of the Oxford Book of Poetry for Children, The New York Times stated "almost a part of the text as such, Mr. Wildsmith's illustrations brilliantly complete its varying moods and tempers.".
