John and Jane Patience are a husband-and-wife team from the north of England whose Rainbow's End Collection, published through the 1980s, became known for its softly detailed, storybook-cottage illustration style; John Patience went on to illustrate dozens of children's books over his career, many featuring the same gentle, pastoral English countryside aesthetic seen here.
