Eileen Soper (died 1990) was an artist and illustrator, perhaps best remembered for illustrating many of Enid Blyton's books. She also wrote and illustrated her own children's books and, later in life, concentrated in writing and illustrating wildlife and nature books - she was a founder member of the Society of Wildlife Artists.
