==Life==
Allen W. Seaby was a student at Reading School of Art under Frank Morley Fletcher, where he developed a lifelong passion for colour woodblock printing in the Japanese style. Published on a range of subjects, including art history and technique as well as children’s literature, Seaby taught fine art at the University of Reading for many years, eventually becoming a professor and head of department. Among his students were Kathleen Hale, the creator of ''Orlando the Marmalade Cat: A Camping Holiday'' (1938) and its sequels, and C.H. Chapman, who went on to take over the drawing of Billy Bunter.
Seaby’s illustrations are well-known to post-war British children through his watercolours for two Ladybird books on British birds by Brian Vesey-Fitzgerald: ''British Birds and their Nests'' (1953) and ''A Second Book of British Birds and their Nests'' (1954).
Allen W. Seaby was the grandfather of noted wildlife illustrator and printmaker, Robert Gillmor.
