Author and illustrator Jill Murphy was born on 5 July 1949. To celebrate and pay tribute to her, we asked a handful of fans, colleagues, and fellow author-illustrators to share what they love most about her work.

A year on from the 50th anniversary of Pratchett’s debut novel The Carpet People, we celebrate his birthday by asking authors, editors, and fans about the enduring impact of his work and how it touched their lives.
