Eilís Dillon (1920-1994) wrote more than thirty books for young people, as well as fiction for adults, including the best-selling historical novel Across the Bitter Sea, about the struggle for Irish independence in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Richard Kennedy (1910-1989) illustrated several of Eilís Dillon's books for children. In addition to collaborating on the early design of Puffin Books, Kennedy provided illustrations for several of the press's most celebrated writers, including J.M. Barrie and Astrid Lindgren.
