Hale, Kathleen
▪ 2001

      British children's writer and illustrator (b. May 24, 1898, Broughton, Lanarkshire, Scot.—d. Jan. 26, 2000, Bristol, Eng.), delighted children and adults alike with a series of whimsical books featuring the adventures of Orlando the Marmalade Cat, his wife, Grace, and their three kittens. The books, which were admired for their well-researched details and brightly coloured illustrations, initially appeared between 1938 and 1972 and were later rereleased. Hale, who was appointed OBE in 1976, wrote several other children's books and an autobiography, A Slender Reputation (1994).
