About Robin Jacques
- Robin Jacques (27 March 1920 – 18 March 1995) was an illustrator whose work was published in more than 100 novels and children's books.
- He is notable for his long collaboration with Ruth Manning-Sanders, illustrating many of her collections of fairy tales from all over the world.
- In much of his work, Jacques employed the stippling technique.
- He was quoted as saying: "My preference is for children's books of the more imaginative and fanciful kind, since these leave greater scope for illustrative invention, where I feel most at home.
- Thus, my work with Ruth Manning-Sanders has proved most satisfying, and the twenty-five books we have done together contain much of the work that I feel personally happiest with."
