    Dick Bruna, RIP

    Dick Bruna, Dutch illustrator and children's writer has died at the age of 89

    (I remember being vaguely aware of his work as a small child, but don't actively remember reading anything he'd written.)

    He wrote the Miffy books, which I bloody well loved as a small child.

      Oh golly, yes I remember his work very well, too – I grew up (in the early 1980s) on his books about Miffy the little white rabbit, especially, plus those on Snuffy the little brown dog. My first pet was a white rabbit called Miffy, who was born the year before me and lived until she was 7.

      I couldn't have begun to speculate if he was still alive, to be honest, but it's still sad news to hear. He looked like the loveliest bloke, too:


      RIP Mr Bruna.

        I'm going to Utrecht in a couple of weeks - may drop by the Miffy Museum to pay my respects.

          Are we 100% sure Miffy is a rabbit?

          I'm still getting over the news that Hello Kitty is not a cat.
