Biography
Leonard Leslie Brooke delighted readers with gentle illustrations for children’s books, portraying animals and childhood scenes with humour, tenderness, and a painterly touch.
He also produced evocative portraits and bookplates that reflected the same quiet charm, and his grave in the Additional Burial Ground of St John-at-Hampstead is tended by admirers of his art.
