Jean Adamson (Author)
Jean Adamson was the creator of more than 100 much-loved children's
books spanning five decades.
She studied Illustration at Goldsmiths where she met her future
husband and writing partner Gareth Adamson (1925-1982). They worked
on children's books together, with Gareth producing the storylines
and Jean the illustration, including Topsy and Tim.
More than 140 Topsy and Tim titles have been published, selling
upwards of 21 million copies around the world. Since 1998, over a
million copies have been sold in the UK alone. Sixty episodes of an
animated TV series followed, and three seasons of a live-action
version have broadcast on CBeebies, which won the BAFTA Pre-school
Live Action award in 2016.
In 1999 Jean Adamson was awarded an MBE for her services to
children's literature.
