Oxford Lives

Korky Paul is a world-famous children’s book illustrator whose Winnie the Witch series has sold millions of copies all around the world. In a highly engaging interview, Korky reflects on his childhood in Zimbabwe, college years spent in apartheid South Africa, and his European and American travels before settling here in Oxford and getting his big break with OUP in the mid-Eighties. He talks about his highly detailed and anarchic illustration style, love of Marvel comics and, of course, his time in Oxford.
