There are a few books which are obviously for small children, but I don’t usually think about whether a book is for children or adults.
- Raymond Briggs. Saddened to hear that the author & illustrator of such books as The Snowman has passed.

Saddened to hear the passing of such a massive influence on myself artistically as a child growing up.

Whether the brutal undoing that is When the Wind Blows or the perfect dream of childhood that is The Snowman, he was a massive inspiration and he'll be missed by so many.
Rest in peace, Raymond Briggs x

Very sad at the loss of Raymond Briggs.
His unique, honest and quietly powerful creations are such a big part of so many childhoods.
He created a snowy thread that has run through my entire career.

Thank you and

The work of Raymond Briggs was something I loved as a child, and then grew to appreciate in a new way as I grew up. This image is from Ug, a book I missed at first but shared with my daughter (who loves it, of course...)

RIP Raymond Briggs. One of my favourite illustrators and authors. Both his kids books and his more adult work has such a wonderful mix of humour and sadness.

Briggs nos dejó un relato desolador y despiadado de la locura de la guerra nuclear. Quizás, si su lectura o visionado fuera obligatoria en todo el mundo, este planeta no intentaría lanzarse a la autodestrucción con alegría.

Creator of a host of classic characters, illustrator and writer AOI Patron Raymond Briggs has sadly died. Embracing a vast range of subject matter, from nuclear war to a flying snowman, his works will definitely live on. See our obituary https://t.co/dWAq19ydh5

Alongside When the Wind Blows, other deeply resonant books such as Tin-Pot Foreign General and the Old Iron Woman or Gentleman Jim are definitely worth a read. Not for young children... https://t.co/maVfoCQsgg

Very sorry to hear about Raymond Briggs, a wonderful creator who ably demonstrated the range and versatility of comics and sequential art. His work was cheeky, intelligent and fiercely compassionate. A sad day.

Grave perdita per il mondo del fumetto, dell'illustrazione, della narrativa. Ci ha lasciati ieri Raymond Briggs, autore di molti libri per bambini (come "The Snowman"), ma anche di opere decisamente più adulte e toccanti, tra cui ricordo "Quando soffia il vento".

Briggs’ biggest success was “The Snowman.” He professes to actually hate Christmas and found the screen adaptation to be ‘corny.’
‘I don’t like the Christmas thing at all. It’s so full of anxiety – have I got enough stuff? Where am I going to go? What should I get for presents?”
