About the Illustrator

As a teenager, Edward Murphy, the illustrator, drew cartoons for his school’s yearbook. Dreaming of becoming a cartoonist, he put together a portfolio and attended art school for one year. His dreams were put on hold when he enlisted in the U.S. Navy to fight in the Korean War. On board the ship, he continued to draw for the shipboard newspaper. After the war, Ed put his skills to work designing houses and apartments for the family development business, instead of returning to art school. He never forgot his dreams, however, and enjoyed illustrating for his daughter’s books. Ed lived in Mystic, CT with his wife, Pauline.
