Angus Clifford Racey Helps was an English children's author and illustrator. His books were written in a simple style and featured woodland creatures and birds, with illustrations by the author.
He is known for illustrating postcards, greeting cards, jigsaw puzzles, playing cards and wrapping paper.
His first success as an author-artist came during World War II with stories written for his daughter Anne.
Also he is known for his post cards, greeting cards, jig-saw puzzles, playing cards, wrapping paper and birthday cards.
His family has created a website "to preserve the interest he created in his beautiful illustrations and quaint stories about woodland creatures which have had world wide appeal since the early fifties." The Racey Helps website has his biography, bibliography, galleries (including many postcards), and an old video interview.
