Simon, now that we have a draft letter, would you be able to be the
point man to contact these illustrators? You're in the UK and better
able to send snail mail and make phone calls if necessary. Let me
know. Sorry to put you on the spot.

We also have an email address for Peter Lyon, so make sure to email him.

We need the imprint name for the book. I can send the mail since I'm in the US.

If her contribution is truly insignificant, then a better course of
action would be to create a replacement or simply omit her material.
Our best defense against possible legal entanglements is immaculate
adherence to copyright law.
In doing some extra checking, the last book that I can find
illustrated by her was in 1990.
