#BookIllustrationOfTheday is by Axel Scheffler for "Pip and Posy - the Snowy Day" (2012). It has snowed here in Bungay! So I'm off with my hat and mittens to have some fun. Scheffler is one our most beloved illustrators (and Authors), bringing colour, bonkers joy to many a book!

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Angela Barrett, for "The Snow Queen" (retold Lewis, after Anderson,1988). Bitterly cold here in Suffolk, but no snow. I adore Angela. Genius, wonderful artist, living legend. I look at this elegant, exhilarating illustration & think "Whooosh!"

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Sybille von Olfers, for The Story of the Snow Children (1906). Von Olfers was a German nun who also taught art and created books with charming, art nouveau illustrations and imaginative tales.

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Elsa Beskow, for "Ollie's Ski Trip" (1909). Beskow was a Swedish author/illustrator, whose charmingly eccentric & curious stories must surely have inspired Swedish speaking Finn Tove Jansson. In this story Ollie meets Jack frost and King Winter.

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Jill Barklem for "Winter Story", part of the Brambly Hedge series (1980). Beloved, cherished little books, fully of exquisite detail and superb observation. Who wouldn't want to be cosy indoors, by a fire, on a wintry day like today?

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is another fab Snow Queen by another little known Czech illustrator - Jan Marcin Szancer (Anderson's fairy tales, 1961). Sweeping movement, delicate line & gentle colour invite us in - it's a beautifully accessible image - but a dark horizon threatens!

There really can only be one possible person for #BookIllustrationOfTheDay today - John Burningham, whose death was announced yesterday. Experimental, innovative, daring; beautiful, astonishing, heartfelt. An inspirational giant. Here's a wintry scene from "Granpa" (1984)...

@jabberworks I can't decide if you are Meg Ryan, Doris Day or Julie Andrews. I'm hoping Doris...

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Armin Greder for The Island (2002). A powerful parable about mistrust, gossip, fake news, fear, lies, rumour & blame - triggered by the arrival of a refugee. Sums up 2018 to me, alas. An important book. I hope 2019 brings better things for us all!

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay its by Ursula Moray Williams for her "The Good Little Christmas Tree" (1943). Best known for Gobbolino, Williams also wrote this Christmas classic & illustrated it too, in bold, graphic images, using scissors! Later editions were in black/red only.
