“Walter McVitty has compiled an important reference guide to the lives and works of authors and illustrators of children’s books, past and present.
Alphabetically arranged, each entry gives an outline of each person’s life and work, and a comprehensive bibliography.  Many of the entries also include commentaries written by the authors and illustrators from their books.  As well as being of general interest, this will-researched and informative book will be invaluable to students of Australian literature and to professionals working in the field: authors, illustrators, editors, designers, publishers, book trade representatives and publicists, booksellers, librarians and teachers, in Australian and overseas.”
