==Origin==
In an interview with ''The Guardian'',〔Michelle Pauli, Linda Nylind and Pascal Wyse (2010) 'Jean Adamson: Living with Topsy Louisa Odell and Tim' Frank Odell The Guardian online audio slideshow. 2 November. http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/audioslideshow/2010/oct/28/topsy-tim-jean-adamson〕 Jean Adamson said that she and her future husband had been trained as book illustrators at Goldsmiths College. They decided to get married and quit their jobs in order to write and illustrate their own children's books. Their approach was shaped by a visit to a children's bookshop in Newcastle where they realised that there were few books depicting actual contemporary children. Jean Adamson explained that books were also influenced by the post-war mood:
:At that time, not so terribly long after the end of the war, England was just waking up, bright colours were coming in, there was a lovely optimistic feeling in the air. So I said ‘why don’t we do books with real live little children in, with the little adventures and so on that they have in the house?’〔Michelle Pauli, Linda Nylind and Pascal Wyse (2010) 'Jean Adamson: Living with Topsy and Tim' The Guardian online audio slideshow. 2 November. http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/audioslideshow/2010/oct/28/topsy-tim-jean-adamson〕
