          Inga Moore (born 1945) is an Anglo-Australian author and illustrator of books for children.

          Life

          Born in Sussex, England, at the age of eight Moore emigrated with her family to Australia, where she went to school in Adelaide. She has said that at the age of fourteen her favourite book was James Boswell’s The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides.[2]

          After leaving school, Moore took a variety of jobs.

          Raymond Briggs’s book Father Christmas (1973) inspired her to want to illustrate books, and she began to look for work as an illustrator.[2] An early work, Aktil’s Big Swim (1980), tells the story of a Dover mouse who decides to swim the English Channel, not understanding how wide it is.[3] In the early 1980s, Moore returned to live in England, settling in Hampstead, while still working on picture books.
