Inscribed by Raymond Briggs in blue ink on the title page "For / AMBER / & / OSCAR / With Best Wishes / Raymond Briggs". A meeting of two of the greats of children's picture books; Briggs was a multi-award winning illustrator known for works such as 'The Snowman', 'Fungus the Bogeyman' and 'Father Christmas', all of which have been adapted for television; Ahlberg has written many popular picture books, several illustrated by his wife Janet Ahlberg, such as 'Each Peach Pear Plum' and 'The Jolly Postman'.
