Fortnum's first commission was for "Dorcas the Wooden Doll" by Mary Fielding Moore, published in 1944.

Fortnum suffered from dementia.

HarperCollins published a 1998 reissue of "A Bear Called Paddington" that used Fortnum's original illustrations.

One of Fortnum's Paddington illustrations was part of a series of first class stamps issued by the Royal Mail in 2006 that celebrated animals from children's literature.
