Denys James Watkins-Pitchford (1905-1990) won the Carnegie Medal in 1942. As noted by Horne, he "is best known as an author and illustrator, concentrating on books about nature and the English countryside…" These two books were written by A. Windsor-Richards and published by Benn in 1960 and 1961. Both relate to scenes in the Lake District.
