A Visit to William Blake's Inn: Poems for Innocent and Experienced Travelers  is a children's  picture book  written by Nancy Willard and illustrated by Alice and Martin Provensen, published by Harcourt Brace in 1981. The next year Willard won the annual Newbery Medal  and the Provensens were one runner-up for the Caldecott Medal  from the professional children's librarians. William Blake's Inn  was the first Newbery-winning book to also be named a Caldecott Honor Book. Last Stop on Market Street  also won the 2016 Newbery Medal and a Caldecott Honor.

The title alludes to Willard's inspiration by William Blake 's Songs of Innocence  and Songs of Experience .

Alice and Martin Provensen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alice Provensen  (born August 14, 1917 or 1918) and Martin Provensen  (July 10, 1916 – March 27, 1987) were an American  couple who illustrated more than 40 children's books  together, 19 of which they also wrote and edited. According to Alice, "we were a true collaboration. Martin and I really were one artist."[1]

Their early lives were remarkably similar. Both were born in Chicago  and both moved to California  when they were twelve.[2]  Both received scholarships to the Art Institute of Chicago , and both attended the University of California , though at separate campuses . After college, Alice went to work with Walter Lantz Studio , the creators of Woody Woodpecker , and Martin took work with the rival Walt Disney Studio , where he collaborated on Dumbo , Fantasia , and Pinocchio .

The pair met in 1943 when Martin, working as a creator of training films for the American military, was assigned to the Walter Lantz Studio. They were married in 1944 and resettled in Washington, D.C. , where they worked on war-related projects. After the war they moved to New York City  where a friend helped them get their first job, illustrating The Fireside Book of Folk Songs .[2]  They illustrated several Little Golden Books  including The Color Kittens  by Margaret Wise Brown  (1949). In 1952, Tony the Tiger , designed by Martin, debuted as a Kellogg's  mascot.

The Provensens were a runner-up for the 1982 Caldecott Medal  as illustrators of A Visit to William Blake's Inn  by Nancy Willard  (who won the companion Newbery Medal ). Two years later they won the Caldecott for The Glorious Flight , the story of aviator  Louis Blériot , the first man to fly solo across the English Channel , which they also wrote. The annual award by U.S. professional librarians recognizes the year's "most distinguished American picture book for children".[3]  Eight of their books were named to the The New York Times  annual Ten Best Illustrated Books, including Our Animal Friends at Maple Hill Farm  (1974) and An Owl and Three Pussycats  (1981).

The couple lived for many years at Maple Hill Farm in Dutchess County, New York , which they portrayed in A Year at Maple Hill Farm  (1978) as well as Our Animal Friends .[5]  Martin died of a heart attack on March 27, 1987, in Staatsburg . Alice went on to publish The Buck Stops Here: the Presidents of the United States  (1990) and My fellow Americans: a family album  (1995), two presentations of people and events from American history (juvenile nonfiction).[5]  Punch in New York , published in 1991, is considered her best solo work. The book received several honors and is dedicated to her grandson, Sean. As of 2006, she continues to write and illustrate.
