Author, illustrator, comic strip artist and ballet costume designer. Nancy Edith Fullarton was born on 15 July, 1913, in Temora, New South Wales, and attended Sydney Girls' High School and Sydney Technical College as an art student. She established herself as a commercial artist in Sydney before turning to a career as a writer and illustrator of children's books. Her first book, The alphabet from A to Z, was published in ca. 1946. Fullarton became known for her children's books and comic strips, in particular Frisky the Rabbit, which endured for 22 years. In 1955 Fullarton accompanied her daughter to London where she continued to create comic strips that were also published in Europe, North America and South Africa. In retirement she was active in programme and publicity design and costume design for the London Ballet Theatre. Fullarton never returned to Australia and died in 2000 in London.
