Errol Le Cain (5 March 1941 – 3 January 1989) was a British animator and children's book illustrator. He won the 1984 Kate Greenaway Medal for Hiawatha's Childhood (Faber & Faber), recognising the year's best children's book illustration by a British subject.
I feel one should not be too dogmatic when talking of picture books. The range available to children should be as wide as possible and the traditional classics should have their place with contemporary works. Back-street slums and fairytale castles must all be there. It is too easy to impose one's own opinions, thus narrowing and limiting a child's imagination.
