is by Pat Hutchins for "One-eyed Jake" (1979). For some reason, greedy pirates and sinking ships are on my mind. Wonderful witty and filigree detailed illustrations in this deliciously moral, classic tale.

26 98

is by for "Hansel and Gretel", retold by Michael Morpurgo (2010). Gorgeously illustrated version. Here's a beautifully bleak and desolate forest for the children to be lost in, and overlaying branches like this is harder than it looks.

is by brilliant Janet & Anne Grahame Johnstone for "Lancelot of the Lake" (Roger Lancelyn Green, 1966). At the end...The ladies of the lake carry the dying King Arthur away to Avalon, to return when "Britain needs him most" (about now, would be good!).

is by Michael Foreman for "A Fish of the World" from "Terry Jones Fairy Tales" (1981). This is a wonderful anthology from the much missed Jones who died recently. Foreman's rich & colourful watercolours are full of fascination & delight. Great book.

I think I'm already in love with him...

is by Christian Birmingham for "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe" (Abridged from C S Lewis 1998). Not much of a Winter here, so I'm finding it in books. Birmingham's lavish, skilful pastels are full of dream-like imagination and dark, icy magic.

64 251

is by Feodor Stepanovich "Rojan" Rojankovsky, for Pete Castor's "Scaf the seal" (by "Lida", transl. Fyleman, 1950s).
Gorgeous lithographs distinguish this important Natural History series. These glowing, gorgeous Aurora Boealis are simply resplendent.

40 156

is by John Burningham for "Courtney" (1994). Reminiscent of Lyle the crocodile, Courtney is an indespensible pet - even when he disappears. Here Burningham's art is at its most sparse and spidery. He delights in awkward poses & less is definitely more!
