    Shirley Hughes was born and grew up in West Kirby, near Liverpool. She studied at Liverpool Art School and at the Ruskin School of Art in Oxford, before embarking on a career as a freelance illustrator. At first she worked as an interpretive illustrator, but she began to write and design her own picture books when her children were very young. Her first book, Lucy and Tom's Day, was published in 1960. Now living in London's Notting Hill, Shirley Hughes has illustrated over two hundred children's books and is renowned as a champion of children's literature. She has been the recipient of the Other Award, the Kate Greenaway Medal and the prestigious Eleanor Farjeon Award. She was shortlisted for the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, which rewards the best in contemporary children's and young adult literature from all over the world, in 2010. Shirley Hughes won the first ever Book Trust Lifetime Achievement Award for her outstanding contribution to children's literature. Book Trust CEO, Diana Gerald, says: ‘Book Trust is thrilled that our first ever Lifetime Achievement Award goes to someone whose remarkable, multi-talented contribution to children's fiction spans several generations and continues to this day. Her characters are imprinted on the memories of two or three generations, a recognition of their enduring charm. This evergreen storytelling is something we particularly want to celebrate with this award. ‘Significantly, Shirley continues to innovate and create, providing young children with a love of reading that we know will give them a great start in life.

RICHMOND [VA] WHIG January - June, 1864 RICHMOND [VA] WHIG, January 1, 1864, p. 2, c. 1 The New Year. "Old Sixty Three" is gone at last, and, this day, young "Sixty Four" steps forward to run his course.—In bidding farewell to the departed year, we cannot repress a mental retrospect of the direful events which have reddened the pages of history since we last penned a New Year's paragraph. Blood, precious blood, has been shed profusely, and we may well be excused for indulging the oft-used simile that the incessant raindrops yesterday were tears over the sorrows which the passing year had brought on the helpless victims of this war. But we will not dwell upon the past. Hope bids us look to the future. The good book says, truly, that "no man knoweth what a day may bring forth." We shall, therefore, not attempt to predict what will take place during the next twelve months.
