About the Author
Janet Ahlberg was born in Huddersfield, England in 1944 and brought
up in Leicester. Originally trained as a teacher in Sunderland from
1963 to 1966, Ahlberg was encouraged to paint and draw. She decided
that keeping charge of a class was very hard work so she decided to
develop her artistic ability and went to study graphic design at
Leicester Polytechnic for three years. She met and married Allan
Ahlberg and began to illustrate books for children, first with
Night published in 1972, and then with The Brick Street Boys
series, written by her husband. Since then, she and Allan Ahlberg
have worked together successfully. Another series, also written by
Allan Ahlberg, is Happy Families, published by Puffin Books. In
1978, Ahlberg was awarded the Kate Greenaway Medal for Each Peach,
Pear, Plum. Ahlberg is a two time winner of the Kate Greenaway
Medal having won again in 1991for The Jolly Christmas Postman. She
was awarded the Kurt Maschler Awards in 1986 for The Jolly Postman:
or Other People's Letters, whoch sold over a million copies
worlwide. Sadly Janet Ahlberg died in 1994 at the age of 50 after
suffering from cancer
Allan Ahlberg was born in 1938 in South London, and grew up in the
Black Country. He worked as a teacher, postman, grave digger,
soldier and plumber's mate before he became a full-time writer. He
met his wife and creative partner, Janet at teacher training
college. It was because Janet wanted to illustrate a book that
Allan wrote his first book, the Brick Street boys. After that,
together they wrote 37 books. Janet died in 1994 and Ahlberg
discontinued his writing career for a few years before picking it
up again.
