Galdone, Paul
Galdone, Paul (1914–86),Hungarian‐American author and illustrator of more than 30 folk tales among his 300 illustrated books. Galdone rewrote most of the folk tales he illustrated in terse repetitive language, selecting a wide rectangular shape especially suitable for adults to hold for children in a group. Productive in the field for 30 years, he interpreted English tales such as Old Woman and her Pig (1960), the Grimms' The Bremen Town Musicians (1968), and Perrault's Puss‐in‐Boots (1976) with whimsy and bold action. Galdone communicates the plot and mood clearly and delineates character differences in both word and picture.
