Hilary Knight

Hilary Knight draws his artistic strength from the artistic and literary heritage of his parents. His father was renowned for his aviation paintings and books, while his mother was known for her fashion drawings, fabric designs, and children's books. Following a period of military service that interrupted his art studies, Knight returned to painting and soon launched his own career. His breakthrough came with humorous drawings published in prominent magazines, leading to his celebrated illustrations for the 'Eloise' series. With over fifty illustrated children's books, six of which he authored himself, Knight has left an indelible mark on children's literature.
