Bayley, Nicola

Bayley, Nicola (1949– ),
English illustrator of children's books. She has provided the illustrations for the pop‐up book Puss in Boots (1977) and Russell Hoban's La Corona and the Tin Frog (1978). In addition she has produced a Copycats series in 1984 consisting of several small books in which a cat imagines himself to be some other animal such as a parrot cat, crab cat, and elephant cat. Bayley works in watercolours and uses a stippling technique of small dots that make her illustrations lush in exquisite detail.
