He was born 5 March 1941 in Singapore and evacuated with his family next year when Japan invaded. They lived in India for several years before eventually settling in the U.K. after World War II. With no formal art education, his talent was nevertheless evident from an early age. Fascinated by cinema, he made his first animated film, The Enchanted Mouse, with a friend's 8-mm camera at age 11. His next work, The Little Goatherd, was created with a 16-mm camera at age 15. It came to the attention of British film distributor Pearl & Dean and he moved to London that year (1956) to pursue a career in animation. In 1965, Le Cain joined Richard Williams's animation studio and worked on a wide range of animation projects. Le Cain turned freelance in 1969, working on sets for BBC television productions, continuing with animation projects, and beginning his career as a children's book illustrator. Le Cain's first children's illustrations were published by Faber and Faber in King Arthur's Sword (1968), which began a long association with Faber that continued to his death. Le Cain illustrated 48 children's books during his lifetime, noted for their richly decorative watercolours and masterful command of design and colour. He was commended for the 1969, 1975, and 1978 Kate Greenaway Medal from the Library Association, - recognising the year's best children's book illustration by a British subject - before winning the 1984 Medal and was commended again for 1987. The winning book was Hiawatha's Childhood, based on "a very short extract" from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's 1855 epic poem The Song of Hiawatha. The four commended books were The Cabbage Princess, which he wrote himself; Thorn Rose, or the Sleeping Beauty from Brothers Grimm; Twelve Dancing Princesses, which he retold from Brothers Grimm; and The Enchanter's Daughter by Antonia Barber. ❤️💙💜 Hiawatha’s Childhood - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow : “I have at length hit upon a plan for a poem on the American Indians, It is to weave together their beautiful traditions into a whole…' The Song of Hiawatha is based on the legendary Native American hero, Hiawatha who performs brave and magical deeds in a pristine American setting The epic relates the fictional adventures of an Ojibwe warrior named Hiawatha and the tragedy of his love for Minnehaha, a Dakota woman. Events in the story are set in the Pictured Rocks area on the south shore of Lake Superior Errol Le Cain Book reflects solely the part of the poem dedicated to the childhood of Hiawatha ❤️💙💜 Jane Burden Morris’ Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Laika231 Gregor Daniel’s Channel: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO9icBWgAYLWh3IIR2CGaOw
