Carine Cadby

Carine Cadby, born Katharine Mary Simpson Cadby (née Stevenson), was a British photographer and children's author. Contemporary and archival sources describe her as a successful flower photographer who also wrote extensively for photographic journals, showing how closely her writing and visual work were linked.

She is especially associated with children's books such as Finding a Fairy and Puppies and Kittens and Other Stories. Her work often drew on animals, flowers, and the small wonders of everyday life, giving her stories a warm, observant feel.

She also worked in close creative partnership with her husband, the photographer Will Cadby, whose photographs illustrated some of her books. A clear portrait image could not be confirmed from the sources reviewed, so no profile image is included here.
