Most of us are familiar with what Harry Potter creator JK Rowling looks like.

Anyone worth their salt could recognise Peter Rabbit but what about Beatrix Potter? Or for that matter Enid Blyton or Roald Dahl?

This exhibition of portraits of children's writers from 1902 to the present day aims to fill in the gaps.

Although the majority of the portraits are photographic, the exhibition also includes paintings, drawings and sculptures. Blyton's typewriter is also on display.

There is an audio listening tree, which includes excerpts from Harry Potter, Peter Rabbit, Winnie the Pooh and The Famous Five.

Book sales and issues from libraries were used to decide which writers to include in the exhibition.

The big highlights are the two Potters, AA Milne, Kenneth Grahame, Roald Dahl, Blyton, Benjamin Zephaniah and Raymond Briggs.

But such egalitarian methods didn't do much to protect curator Giles Brandreth, who was besieged by disgruntled authors for his omissions. Alison Uttley's family were among the first to petition him, with supporters of Eleanor Farjeon, Walter de La Mare and Alan Garner not far behind.

The display also features writers who produced work primarily for adults but whose reputation now rests largely on their children's work, such as JM Barrie with Peter Pan.

There are also writers whose creations live on, including Richard Crompton with Just William and WE Johns with Biggles.
