As a child I had no idea who Quentin Blake was - but I knew who Roald Dahl was and the illustrations that where associated with his stories.
I watched 'Quentin Blake – The Drawing of My Life' on BBC and have been inspired to create some children's stories of my own.
It's a fun watch and if you have an hour spare why not be inspired yourself: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0012xpw/quentin-blake-the-drawing-of-my-life
