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.
Such sad news today about the passing of Raymond Briggs. A true pioneer in the world of children's books. He will be remembered by generations to come through his books that will be passed down from family member to family member ❤ #RaymondBriggs
Saddened to hear the passing of #RaymondBriggs 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 #RIPRaymondBriggs

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
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 #raymondbriggs
Alongside When the Wind Blows, #raymondbriggs' 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
RIP to the great Raymond Briggs ❤️ a true icon who gave us so much joy and warmth, and so many treasured memories ☃️
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". #raymondbriggs
Thank you, Raymond Briggs. 🙌🏾
One of the giants of my childhood. What a gift to share such powerful messages with a beautifully gentle touch. 🧡
RIP Raymond Briggs. A foundational inspiration to illustrators everywhere. The texture, empathy and depth of feeling his work evokes will always be breathtaking.
The year gets worse and comics is lessened by the loss of another giant -Raymond Briggs has left us at the age of 88
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?”
