ROWLES Daphne B. 1922-1967
Illustrator and daughter of artists Stanley Rowles and Lillian Rowles. Daphne is best known as the illustrator of ‘Nicky Nobody', the story of a young orphan and his dog Chum.
As far as I can ascertain Daphne Rowles only illustrated one Enid Blyton book,1964's The Hidey Hole,three years before she sadly passed away.
Her artwork seems to be very much in the Blyton style,and I could imagine her illustrating the Secret Seven or perhaps even the Find Outers later paperbacks.
Other books she illustrated are;
