James Marshall

Biography

James Marshall, one of our most beloved creators of children’s books, died on October 13, 1992, three days after his fiftieth birthday. As Anita Silvey says in Children’s Books and Their Creators: “The Marshall canon of characters is legendary: Viola Swamp, George, Martha, the Stupids, Emily Pig, Fox, the Cut-Ups…In the latter part of the twentieth century, there have been many fine practitioners of the art of the picture book, but Marshall was one of the finest. His books are classics that will endure.”
