Adrienne Ségur was born in 1901-  
She was active as a childrens' book illustrator     
*War II. Her first book - Aventures de Cotonnet -     
was published when she was 29 years old     
and followed by two sequels.
 
 *Cotonnet, Aviateur and Cotonnet en Amérique.     
Her earlier illustrations, while charming,     
were simple and stood in stark contrast     
to the hauntingly beautiful and whimsically     
detailed illustrated work that was to follow.
 
 
*In 1949, Ségur contributed colour and     
black and white illustrations to      
Alice au pays des merveilles, the French     
adaptation of Carrolls' Alice in Wonderland -     
it is considered her masterpiece.     
The colour illustrations, in particular
 
     
*throughout Alice au pays des merveilles,     
show the fantasy animals and imagery that marks     
the highpoint of her art.

Haar vroegere illustraties, die charmant,     
en eenvoudig waren staan in schril     
contrast met haar geïllustreerd werk     
wat daarop volgde.     
In 1949 leverde Ségur een bijdrage aan     
Alice au pays des Merveilles,     
met kleur en zwart-wit illustraties     
van de Franse aanpassing van     
Carrolls "Alice in Wonderland -  
Het wordt beschouwd als haar meesterwerk.     
De gekleurde illustraties, in het bijzonder.     
De gehele Alice au pays des Merveilles,     
tonen fantasie dieren en beelden die beschouwd     
worden als het hoogtepunt van haar carrière.

You keep findings things I haven't seen and I love the Alice books. Thanks.
My mother has two very old volumes of Alice and says I can inherit them but keeps forgetting to bring them to me. I have no idea who illustrated them. I have to ask her to look.
Wind in The Willows is my very favorite childrens book. 'Oh Toad!' I just love that book. Have you read the modern sequels? Thank you for your comment about my secret garden. I enjoyed letting a beloved book influence me. I need to share another favorite child's author whose books I am collecting very soon.
Groetjes ~
