All the William books until William and the Witch published in 1964 were illustrated by Thomas Henry in ink, with water colour illustrations for the front covers. After Henry's death in 1962, Henry Ford and Lunt Roberts (who had previously illustrated her Jimmy books) continued in his style. He’s written all kinds: historical novels, thrillers, short stories, and he’s enjoying himself by writing romance and humor. And he believes that romantic comedies are what all of us need from time to time. Life’s not always rather fair, nor is it that much fun, however when it is, it’s important to embrace it. He knows he’s done his job if his books can put a smile on his readers’ face and possibly give their heartstrings a tug. a b c d Hampson, Sarah (2013-12-07).
