He is probably best known for "The Snowman" which was made into an animation where the artwork stayed true to Briggs' recognisable style. I find his books appealing to children of all ages and to adults. They are all written with a sensitivity to the world children inhabit and this is very true of "The Bear". D. Martin, "Raymond Briggs", in Douglas Martin, The Telling Line: Essays on Fifteen Contemporary Book Illustrators (Julia MacRae Books, 1989), pp.227–42

Peter and the Piskies: Cornish Folk and Fairy Tales (1958), retold by Ruth Manning-Sanders and illustrated by Briggs [44]

The story of a little girl who befriends a mischievous polar bear, this playful, funny and heart-warming tale is one of imagination and growing up. I listened to 'The Bear' on audio tape a lot when I was little, and I remember it well today, even more so than Raymond Briggs' other works for children. A warm (despite the cold content) and touching little story that contains the familiar Briggs themes of care, responsibility, and letting go: from the point of view of Tilly, a little girl protagonist.

Raymond Briggs - Wikipedia

Briggs won the 1966 and 1973 Kate Greenaway Medals from the British Library Association, recognising the year's best children's book illustration by a British subject. [3] [4] For the 50th anniversary of the Medal (1955–2005), a panel named Father Christmas (1973) one of the top-ten winning works, which composed the ballot for a public election of the nation's favourite. [5] For his contribution as a children's illustrator, Briggs was a runner-up for the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 1984. [6] [7] He was a patron of the Association of Illustrators. [8] Early life [ edit ] A used book that does show some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Very good items should not have writing or highlighting. Perhaps Briggs’ most famous and well-known work was published in the late 1970s. The Snowman (1978) is a word-less picture book which won multiple awards and was adapted into an animated film in 1982. Commenting on the end of the book, Briggs said: “The Snowman has to melt because that’s what snowmen do." The essence [of being an illustrator] is to be a mini actor. If the figure is to crouch low in fear, you have to feel that from the inside... At the same time you have to be observing the figure from the outside. It’s an odd business really."
