Jean-Jacques Sempé (born August 17, 1932 in Bordeaux) is a French cartoonist.

His work has appeared as the cover of The New Yorker magazine several times....

Edward James Hughes OM (17 August 1930 – 28 October 1998) was an English poet and children's writer, known as Ted Hughes. Critics routinely rank him as one of the best poets of his generation.

In 2003 he was portrayed by British actor Daniel Craig in Sylvia, a biogra...
