We will be extra clumsy on Christmas day :-)

An alternative view, different composition... much paler!

is by Lisbeth Zwerger for "Anderson's Fairy Tales" (1991). A scene from The Swineherd - characteristic (deceptive) simplicity, fluid, graceful lines, elegant composition, superb observation of figures & costume. Utterly outstanding, one of the greats!

93 447

is by Arthur Rackham for Henrik Ibsen's "Peer Gynt" (1936). The famous scene "In the Hall of the Mountain King", immortalised in music by Grieg, depicting Peer and the Norwegian Trolls. A scene very much on my mind for my next book

63 214

is by Harvey Weiss for "The Big Clean Up" (1967). An adored book from my childhood, in which a boy tidies his room, only to discover every piece of trash is useful, & he keeps it all. Wonderful limited colour retro illustrations. Witty, creative, fab!

38 181

is by Emily Sutton for "A First Book of the Sea" by (2018). Here's Lord Beauford's Scale, just right for the wet & windy weather. I love Sutton's illustrations, full of inventive techniques, beautiful observation, & a nod to Ravilious.

94 423

is by Warwick Goble for "Folk Tales from Bengal" by Behari Day Lal (1912). He had a particular interest in the Orient, but gave up illustrating for cycling and rowing. This echoes Dulac and the Golden Age illustrators...

33 118

is by Elena Polenova for The Firebird, in fact for an art collective journal rather than a book - The World of Art (1900), famous for contributions from Bakst & Bilibin. Polenova also illustrated many books & decorated furniture. Gorgeous Art Nouveau!
