John Charles Heywood Hadfield, (June 16, 1907 - October 10, 1999) was a British author and publisher, best known for his novel Love on a Branch Line. After leaving school, Hadfield worked as an editor at the publishing firm of J. M. Dent in London. During World War II as Book Officer for the British Council he formed a unit translating books into Arabic. On returning to civilian life, he founded The Cupid Press which specialised in limited edition anthologies of poetry such as this one. Reginald John 'Rex' Whistler (24 June 1905 – 18 July 1944) was a British artist, designer and illustrator. Upon leaving the Slade School of Art he burst into a dazzling career as a professional artist. His work encompassed all areas of art and design. From the West End theatre to book illustration (including works by Evelyn Waugh and Walter de la Mare, and perhaps most notably, for Gulliver's Travels) and mural and trompe l'oeil painting.
