Lena Anderson (born 27 May 1939) is a Swedish children's book illustrator and author. Anderson was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1939. She first gained international success for her illustrations in the 1985 picture book Linnea in Monet's Garden, which was translated into English in 1987. The book, which she made with Christina Björk, took five years to finish. She has worked on multiple other books with writer Christina Björk, including a series of children's stories with the character Linnea. Anderson mainly draws nature-based illustrations. Her work draws from traditional Swedish picture book styles, similar to that of Elsa Beskow's work. Source: Wikipedia (en)
