Mary A. Brooks illustrated and authored a large number of children's
books mainly during the 1950s and 1960s, the important period when colourful
children's illustration was beginning to flourish. Her work is charming
and highly detailed whilst retaining a soft edge, and is often aimed
at younger children. She was celebrated especially for her illustrated
stories centering on animal family life.
