Ludwig Bemelmans (April 27, 1898 – October 1, 1962) was an author, an internationally known gourmet and a writer and of illustrator of children's books. He is most noted today for his Madeline books, six of which were published from 1939-1961.
Madeline is one of my favourite illustrated series ever. Ludwig Bemelmans also worked in restaurants and hotels and wrote about culinary matters.
