關於作者：
William Steig 1907-2003 was a cartoonist, illustrator
and author of award-winning books for children, including
Shrek!, on which the DreamWorks movies are based. Steig was
born in New York City. Every member of his family was involved in
the arts, and so it was no surprise when he decided to become an
artist. He attended City College and the National Academy of
Design. In 1930, Steig’s work began appearing in The New
Yorker, where his drawings have been a popular fixture ever
since. He published his first children''s book, Roland the
Minstrel Pig, in 1968. In 1970, Steig received the
Caldecott Medal for Sylvester and the Magic Pebble. His
books for children also include Dominic; The Real Thief;
The Amazing Bone, a Caldecott Honor Book; Amos
Boris, a National Book Award finalist; and Abel''s Island
and Doctor De Soto, both Newbery Honor Books. Steig''s books
have also received the Christopher Award, the Irma Simonton Black
Award, the William Allen White Children''s Book Award, and the
American Book Award. His European awards include the Premio di
Letteratura per l''infanzia Italy, the Silver Pencil Award the
Netherlands, and the Prix de la Fondation de France. On the basis
of his entire body of work, Steig was selected as the 1982 U.S.
candidate for the Hans Christian Andersen Medal for Illustration
and subsequently as the 1988 U.S. candidate for Writing.
Stieg also published thirteen collections of drawings for
adults, beginning with About People in 1939, and including
The Lonely Ones, MaleFemale, The Agony in the
Kindergarten, and Our Miserable Life. He died in
Boston at the age of 95.
