About the Illustrator
Margaret “Peg” Bradfield was a twentieth-century fine artist and illustrator born in 1898. She received her bachelor’s degree in art from the Teacher’s College at Columbia University in 1920. Peg married and settled with her family in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where she began her career. During her lifetime, she illustrated several children’s books as well as hundreds of education filmstrips, and her portraits and paintings of Ann Arbor and other places she visited were displayed throughout the US. Peg was a member of The American Association of Women Artists and The National Farm and Garden Club. An ardent nature and animal lover, Peg had a fondness for cats and for her flower garden that can be seen in much of her work.
