#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Artuś Scheiner for "Tales from Bohemia", retold Vera Gissing (1969). Lavish and pleasingly curious illustrations for the equally strange and magical tales. Here's one from "Mr Tall, Mr Broad & Mr Sharpeye". You guessed it - here's Mr Tall.

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Štěpán Zavřel for "The Last Tree" (1977). A beautiful & touching fable that would be just as relevent today, elevated by liquid, lyrical watercolours that glow & enchant. Gorgeous colours & dreamlike forms, full of sensitivity.

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Margaret Bloy Graham for "Harry by the Sea" by Gene Zion (1965). Who can resist Harry? Here's an idyllic scene by the seaside with Harry and family - of course disaster isn't far away. Lovely limited palette, and breezy line. A Vintage classic.

Well my wonderful friends, today has felt like a really lovely party for the fabulous @ShirleyHughes_.
#HappyBirthdayShirleyHughes Thank you for joining in. I'm signing off now, so take care everyone and good night...sweet dreams!

@ShirleyHughes_ Happy happy birthday, dear Shirley, love from me and @MrTotoMartinez. Can't wait to see the cover of #DoggersChristmas!

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay I'm posting lots today, in honour of the great, beloved @ShirleyHughes_, who has her birthday today. I love this early Thumbelina from a 1961 HC Anderson collection. What a career she has had! WATCH OUT FOR BIG NEWS AT 11am!

Please share *your* favourite Shirley Hughes illustrations! Let's fill twitter & celebrate!

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Eric Winter for "Snow White and Rose Red" by Vera Southgate (1969). As ever, with Ladybird "well-loved tales", the clarity and information in the illustrations is remarkable. I always thought this was an odd story, with the bear and the dwarf.

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by L R Brightwell for Reynard the Fox, told by C S Evans (1926?). Leonard Brightwell was an animal artist of note, an engraver, printmaker and painter too. Here, that most pesky of foxes chats to an aloof cat. Could almost be @GaspardTheFox and Peter!
