Maggie Scraggle Jill McDonald My contribution to #postyourpuffin had to include something by the wonderful Jill McDonald. She met Kaye Webb in New Zealand when Kaye was on one of her Puffin tours who immediately asked her to get in touch if Jill visited England. When Jill eventually arrived Kaye snapped her up to illustrate the new Puffin Club magazine. Almost single handed lay Jill created the most fabulous branding of Puffin and with her distinctive calligraphy, illustration and quirky offbeat humour she was magnificent. Sadly she died tragically young and with her passing and Kaye's retirement the Puffin Club lost momentum. #jillmcdonald #puffinclub #puffinpost #kayewebb #graphicdesign #pufginbooks @penguincollsoc @penguinpressart
