I was just about to say that it sounds like a typo because I couldn't find any mention of anyone called Degil when I stumbled across a couple of books illustrated by Degil. It's a very, very uncommon surname: I've found one reference to an Adile Degil in the 1861 UK census and a handful of Degils in the USA. The name appears to be of French origin. Otherwise, nothing. I can't even find anyone of that surname in the phonebook. Frankly, I'm stumped.
