作者簡介
Paul Galdone (1907 - November 7, 1986) was a children's literature author and illustrator. He was born in Budapest and he emigrated to the United States in 1921. He studied art at the Art Student's League and New York School for Industrial Design. He served for the US Army during world War II.
He illustrated nearly all of Eve Titus' books including, Basil of Baker Street series which was translated to the screen in the animated Disney film, The Great Mouse Detective.
Galdone and Titus were nominated for Caldecott Medals for Anatole (1957) and Anatole and the Cat (1958).[1]. The titles were later named Caldecott Honor books in 1971.
He died of a heart attack in Nyack, New York. He was posthumously awarded the 1996 Kerlan Award for his contribution to children's literature.[2] His retellings of classic tales like The Little Red Hen or Three Billy Goats Gruff have become staples.
Paul Galdone 出生布達佩斯特，當時的奧匈帝國。少年的時候，移民到美國。 後來他學習了美術設計，也曾在二戰中服役。他從入出版一行到1986年逝世，一共為孩子創作、改編了300多本圖畫書。他的文字改編得恰到好處，圖畫偏寫實，生動幽默，還帶點鄉村風格，非常適合這些家喻戶曉的傳統故事。
