Audrey Teago (24 January 1889 – 30 August 1974) was an English artist known for the illustrations she had published in books and magazines.

She was born Audrey Peake in Somerset, England in 1889. She married Charles Teago in 1915 [1] in what was decribed as a "war wedding" and gave birth to Barbara Teago in 1916. Her marriage begins in the same the year that her husband begins Army service. [2] This service later takes the family to live in Natal, South Africa. When they returned to England in 1923, he was listed as "retired." [3] She became a widow in 1924. [4] During her life, Audrey Teago had a successful career as an artist and many of her illustrations were published in books and magazines.

At the time Septimus Serpentine was published, author Joanna Giles and illustrator Audrey Teago are said to be fellow art students in London and "great friends". [5] [6] Teago's illustrations accompanied Sambo and Snitch, when it was first serialized in Merry-Go-Round and were also included in the later hardcover book. [7] Hugh Chesterman, who was also an artist, became editor of Merry-Go-Round after Sambo and Snitch was purchased but before its first publication. [7] Teago and Chesterton would go on to collaborate, as she illustrated some of his subsequent writings.

Audrey Teago died in 1974, in Somerset.

Reproductions of her work are still produced. [8]
