He was perhapsthe best-loved illustrator of children's books since Sir John Tenniel. Shepard was an inveterate sketcherand although his finished drawings were usually the outcome of numerous pencil sketchesthey always retained an appearance of spontaneity.He used pen and ink with exceptional flexibility varying the weight and quality of his line for emphasis and expression.He excelled at depicting movementand had a fine instinct for characterisation Although best-known for his association with A.A. Milne Shepard successfully illustrated a wide range of books.His drawings for 'The Wind in the Willows' were the only ones that the authorKenneth Grahameever likedwhile his illustrations for 'Everybody's Pepys' and 'Everybody's Boswell' demonstrated that he could handle adult historical subjects with aplomb.Late in life he illustrated his own autobiographical reminiscences 'Drawn from Memory' 1957 and 'Drawn from Life' 1961 with undiminished liveliness and humour. Bevis Hillier described Shepard as 'the perfect illustrator. . . He never allows his personality to obtrude.He translatesnever transmutes'.He was awarded an OBE in 1972.
