Walker Books - Helen Oxenbury. As a child Growing up in Ipswich, England, Helen Oxenbury loved nothing more than drawing.
As a teenager, she entered art school and basked in the pleasure of drawing, and nothing but drawing, all day. During vacations she helped out at the Ipswich Repertory Theatre workshop, mixing paints for set designers. It was there that she decided her future lay in theatre design.
