Best known as "Arthur's" creator, author/illustrator Marc Brown has been working with the beloved aardvark for over 25 years. Born one night when Brown was telling a bedtime story to his son, "Arthur" soon evolved into the book Arthur's Nose, published in 1976. Since then, Brown has written and illustrated more than thirty Arthurand D.W. books, and has illustrated many other books including one with his wife, author/illustrator and psychologist, Laurie Krasny Brown.
Brown was born in 1946, in Erie, Pennsylvania. His passion for drawing was kindled at age six by the loving attentions of his grandmother ("Grandma Thora"), who saved his artwork in her bottom bureau drawer. "I knew it must be special," recalls Brown, "because she didn't save many things." Besides encouraging his artwork, Brown's grandmother bequeathed him her gift for weaving imaginative stories "on command" for her grandchildren. And it was his grandmother who built an education fund that helped Brown pay for art school at the Cleveland Art Institute, which he attended from 1964 to 1969.
