Interview with David McKee We know that Elmer began in 1968 which was when you were living in Putney – was it anything in Putney that inspired Elmer? Stories are in the air, and writers can just pick them up – there must have been something special as I picked up the Elmer story and wrote it whilst I was in Putney! What is your favourite memory of Putney? I had a lot of good times in and around Putney, creating some of my favourite work there. Have you visited Putney recently?
Award winning Author David McKee lived in Putney.
Not too recently, I’ve been away through lockdown and the pandemic, I hope lots of people can see the trail though and enjoy the Christmas activities.
David McKee has recently won the prestigious BookTrust Lifetime Achievement Award, becoming the seventh creator to do so, as well as being named Illustrator of the Year at the British Book Awards this year. David, who has a career that spans over 60 years, is known for creating beloved children’s classics including Elmer, Mr Benn and Not Now, Bernard – stories that are still beloved by young people today.
We have a super Waterstones inside Putney Exchange Shopping Centre with a café and large children’s book section where you can buy all of David McKee’s books.
David lived in Putney in the sixties and seventies. The character Mr Benn lived on Festive Road which inspired David when he lived on Festing Road. Positively Putney are very excited to have partnered with David’s beloved character Elmer the Patchwork Elephant this year for our Christmas trail. In such a strange year, we feel that the colourful Elmer character will brighten up Putney town centre. We asked David some questions about his time in Putney.
Round the corner in the Exchange, Jojo Maman Bebe have Elmer products. Look at this lovely Elmer back pack to keep your own little Elmer in check or this beautiful Elmer lamp shade perfect for your child’s bedroom.
