Biographical Sketch
Rosalie K. Fry was born in Vancouver, Canada, and lived as an adult in England and Wales. She
attended school in Wales and in London at the Central School of Arts.
Her earliest writings, Bumblebuzz (1938) and Ladybug, Ladyug! (1940), were self-illustrated books for young children. These books were small and featured watercolor and ink illustrations of moths, bees, beetles and other tiny insects involved in daily activities. Other books written later feature pen and ink wash, and longer text. Towards the end of her career, Ms. Fry concentrated more on the story, and had others illustrate her work. She also produced Christmas card illustrations, stationery and post cards.
