#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Angela Barrett for “Can It Be True?” By Susan Hill (1988). Glorious words, filled with peace & hope, are paired with one of our greatest living illustrators - when it comes to technique, imagination, knowledge Angela is always superb.

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Ivy Wallace for “Pookie Believes in Santa Claus” (1954). The beloved winged rabbit faces a rather existential crisis when he realises that not all Christmas gifts are delivered to wood-cutter’s daughter Belinda by Santa Claus... What is the truth?

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Barbara Cooney for “The Little Fir Tree” By Margaret Wise Brown (1954). An early work for Cooney, who later created more painterly illustrations. Here, the carefully layered limited palette works so well. Deceptively simple. Love the textured snow!

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Roger Duvoisin for "Petunia's Christmas" (1952). Petunia meets a dishy gander, but soon discovers the true meaning of Christmas...DINNER! Can she save him from a roasting? Just look at this explosion of colour from the brilliant, dazzing Duvoisin.

@Bitchard11 @MichaelRosenYes Haha! Meanwhile I confess I noticed the buff Angel with pert buttocks...

@JulieOwenMoylan Can't wait.

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Paul Galdone for "Anatole and the Cat" by Eve Titus (1957).
Simple (French flag) colours & layered tone, with line, give a jaunty air to these beloved books. I just love all these mouselings lined up in bed, jackets nearly hung up on named pegs!

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Eric Winter for "Snow White" by Vera Southgate (1969). For better or worse, the Ladybird "Well-loved tales" are indelibly etched on the memory of a whole generation. So vividly illustrated, every costume, expression & setting seems familiar.

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by John Burningham for " Trubloff, The Mouse who wanted to play the Balalaika" (1964). A richly illustrated story of a runaway mouse who longs to have Balalaika lessons. The tale ends with a mouse band - and what could be better than that?

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Helen Stratton for "Heroic Legends" by Agnes Grozier Herbertson (1908). Here's Blondel - singer, minstral, composer of courtly songs... outside the tower of Richard the Lionheart. Stratton was a prolific illustrator of classic tales.
