As a child, she was very imaginative and drew all the time, illustrating her own stories but also her schoolbooks and homework. After her Latin teacher told her off for her ‘silly drawing’, she sadly stopped making art for a while. Instead of going to art school she worked in lots of boring, unimaginative jobs. But one day, while working in mapmaking, she had to draw some landscapes, and rediscovered her passion. She has also said that reading Father Christmas (1973) by Raymond Briggs was a turning point in her career, as she realised creating a picture book was a wonderful, inspiring thing to do. She began working as an illustrator and returned to England to recapture her childhood memories. During her time living in Hampstead she wrote Six Dinner Sid.

We knew Pippa had not been seen for a few days, but food was going, and Katie presumably wasn’t eating all of it. But that’s not the intended takeaway, weakly lampshaded by the fact that he’s only taking it for good measure (it’s probably a placebo for the owners).

Six Dinner Sid is considered a modern classic in children’s picture books. It has sold over 250,000 copies since it was published, is a Smarties Award winner, and is in the Daily Telegraph’s top 50 children’s books of all time. The silo mentality of the inhabitants of Aristotle street is exploited by the eponymous cat to score six dinners every day – at some psychic cost as he must remember six distinct names and identities, but the illustrations show him becoming pleasingly plump at the end of the day so the stress of performing the different roles required of him does not seem too overwhelming but perhaps that stress does precipitate the cough that exposes the dangers of the Aristotelian approach to life and brings to an end one phase of Sid’s heroic life, dedicated to the pursuit of life, liberty and six dinners a day and the rejection of the bourgeois anthropocentrism of the Aristotelians.
