  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Raymond Briggs is an English author and illustrator known for his picture books.

His books for children include Father Christmas (awarded the Kate Greenaway Medal), Father Christmas Goes on Holiday, Fungus the Bogeyman, The Snowman (a magical and completely wordless tale that was adapted into a beloved animated film), and The Man.

His books for older readers — disconcertingly illustrated in the same cartoony style — include Gentleman Jim, When the Wind Blows (a darkly comic take on nuclear holocaust from the point-of-view of a simple cheerful middle-aged couple), and The Tin-Pot Foreign General and the Old Iron Woman (a satire of The Falklands War).

Works by Raymond Briggs with their own trope pages include:[]

Other works by Raymond Briggs provide examples of:[]

  • Bad Santa (well, not really bad, but less squeaky-clean and relentlessly jolly than most portrayals)
  • Delusions of Eloquence (the protagonist of Gentleman Jim)
