The delightful tale of a beastly baker,a hard-working cat and a rabble of rude and frisky mice. . . . Rosemary Elizabeth "Posy" Simmonds (b.9/8/1945) is a British newspaper cartoonist and writer and illustrator of children's books.Born in Berkshire and educated at a boarding school,the Sorbonne and studied at the Central School of Art & Design,London.She is best known for her long association with The Guardian,for which she now draws a cartoon titled Tamara Drewe.She started her newspaper career drawing a strip for The Sun in 1969 before joining The Guardian as an illustrator in 1972.In 1979 she started drawing a weekly comic strip for The Guardian,initially titled 'The Silent Three of St. Botolph's' as a tribute to the 1950's strip, 'The Silent Three' by Evelyn Flinders.The strip focused on three 1950's schoolfriends in their later,middle-class and nearly middle-aged lives:Wendy Weber,a former nurse married to polytechnic sociology lecturer George with a large brood of children; Jo Heep, married to whisky salesman Edmund with two rebellious teenagers; and Trish Wright,married to philandering advertising executive Stanhope with a young baby.The strip,which was latterly untitled and usually known just as "Posy",ran until the late 1980's.It was collected into a number of books: 'Mrs Weber's Diary', 'Pick of Posy', 'Very Posy' and 'Pure Posy', and one original cartoon book featuring the same characters, 'True Love'. Her later cartoons for The Guardian and The Spectator were collected as 'Mustn't Grumble' (see rja465313 and rja511215 respectively),in 1992.
