Faith Jaques was born on December 13, 1923 in Leicester, United Kingdom.
Leaving grammar school at 15, she went to Leicester College of Art in 1941-1942. In London after the Second World War she attended the Central School of Arts and Crafts.
Jaques was a well established illustrator of children’s books, including works such as Roald Dahl’s "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and Philippa Pearce’s "What the Neighbours Did." She worked to gain recognition for illustrators, particularly in regard to receiving royalties along with authors for the work. Jaques served with the Women’s Royal Naval Service during World War II, becoming a petty officer. Beginning in 1950 she worked as a visiting lecturer at the Guildford School of Art in England, followed by a stint at the Hornsey College of Art beginning in 1958. She worked as an illustrator with various firms, including Folio Society Books, Reader’s Digest Educational Books, BBC School Publications, and Cape, Heinemann, Methuen, and Penguin. In addition to illustrating the books of others, she created the artwork for books of her own. She also illustrated books in “The Apprentices” series by Leon Garfield such as "Labour in Vain" and "The Filthy Beast."
