He was nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal in 1963 (twice), was nominated again in 1964, won the medal in 1965 for "The Three Poor Tailors," was nominated again in 1971, and won again in 1975 for "Horses in Battle" & "Mishka."
Born Gyozo Laszlo Ambrus in Budapest, he moved to London in 1959, where he graduated from the Royal College of Art. He now lives in Farnham, Surrey.
I first saw his work in Bernard Miles' 1976 book "Favorite Tales from Shakespeare."

P.S. Today would have been Swiss author/poet Kurt Baumann's 80th birthday as well, but while some sites imply he's alive, others say he died in 1988. I have to wonder if they aren't confusing him with the German poet Hans Baumann, who died in 1988 - at age 74 - but if anyone can confirm (with details as to the CAUSE of death) that Kurt is no longer with us, please do.
Born Gyozo Laszlo Ambrus in Budapest, he moved to London in 1959, where he graduated from the Royal College of Art. He now lives in Farnham, Surrey.
