Author/Illustrator

Allan Ahlberg

7079 allan ahlberg 206756

Allan has been delighting children of all ages for more than thirty years. Classic characters like Burglar Bill and The Jolly Postman have become firm favourites with a generation of children who are now reading them to their own offspring. Innovative, funny and moving, his work encompasses storybooks, picture books, easy readers, joke books and novels as well as poems.

Many of his books were collaborations with his wife, Janet, an illustrator, and they quickly became one of Britain’s leading author/illustrator teams.

Influenced by comics and cartoons, their perfect partnership went on to produce masterpieces including Peepo!, Each Peach Pear Plum and The Baby’s Catalogue.

Janet sadly died in 1994, but Allan has gone on to work with other illustrators and is still producing lots of new books.

    The jolly christmas postman

    This fantastic book has been shared and enjoyed for many years in our family! Our grownup children remember it from their childhood and a couple of years ago we got a new copy for our grandchild. We have recently bought another copy for our great nephew! We are so looking forward to seeing his delight when he looks inside.
    Five stars!!!
