Leonard Leslie Brooke

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Leonard Leslie Brooke (1862-1940) was a British artist and writer. Brooke was born on Sept. 24, 1862, in Birkenhead, England.[1] His skillful and witty illustrations in Andrew Lang's Nursery Rhyme Book (1897) established his reputation as a leading children's book illustrator of pen-and-ink line drawings and watercolors.

Brooke's son Henry Brooke, Baron Brooke of Cumnor, later became British Home Secretary.
