The Tiger Who Came To Tea author Judith Kerr has died at the age of 95, her publisher HarperCollins says.

Charlie Redmayne, head of her publisher HarperCollins, said she was "a wonderful and inspiring person who was much loved by everyone".

Kerr, who published more than 30 books over a 50-year career, dreamed up the tiger to amuse her two children.

Charlie and Lola author Lauren Child said she was a "huge admirer of her work, as a writer and an illustrator".
