Charles Buckles Falls, also commonly known as C.B. Falls, was an American illustrator & artist known for his woodblock prints, WWI poster designs, and children's books. He was born & raised in Indiana, later moving to Chicago in his 20s to begin work as a sketch artist for the Chicago Tribune. In 1900, he relocated to New York City and became a member of the Society of Illustrators, where he produced designs for the Committee on Public Information's Division of Pictorial Publicity throughout WWI. Then in 1923, he teamed up with Doubleday editor May Massee to create The ABC Book. With its success, Falls went on to illustrate several other children's novels, as well as designing fabrics, furniture, stage productions, and more. He died in 1960 at the age of 85.
