Children's author and illustrator Jill Murphy, who created the beloved Worst Witch books, has died at the age of 72.
Murphy also published picture books including the Large family series, Peace at Last and The Last Noo-Noo.
Belinda Ioni Rasmussen, managing director of Macmillan Children's Books, said: "She had an unparalleled talent for storytelling through words and pictures.
"Without doubt, her picture books have become timeless children's classics."
Murphy came up with the idea for the first Worst Witch novel, which followed the exploits of Mildred Hubble at witch school, at the age of 14 and based it on her own experiences at a strict convent school.
She had finished writing it by 18 and it was published when she was 24. The eighth and most recent instalment came out in 2018.
The books were adapted for a TV film in 1986, and two TV series, in the 1990s and 2010s. There has also been a hit stage show.
Disney even wanted to adapt them in the 1990s. Murphy later said: "They wanted complete control over everything, which I just could not bear."

Only saw the Stones once in 1971 in the wonderful Free Trade Hall.
Just heard it on the radio
I don't know if its just me but the only time i think about my age is when someone dies and you realise you have listened to the group all your life (or most of it) ZZ Top, now The stones.
One of my hero's. Remember seeing a Tv programme many years ago where they interviewed people who had worked for the rich as butlers valets, PA's etc and he got a glowing report by people who had worked for saying he was so respectful and a true gent.
I will miss him bur see him every Saturday night when I have a drink and watch old Youtube vids of him playing in the Stones.
RIP

Sad news indeed. Saw him at the Roots Festival in Brighton about 20 years ago and he was eccentric to say the last! So many great records produced
