#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Rex Whistler for J Swift's Gulliver's Travels. Here's a Brobdingnagian dwarf pelting Gulliver with giant apples (1930). Whistler's exquisite & refined Baroque creations are reminiscent of Hogarth's elegant engravings. Also a magnificent muralist!

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Peter Cross for his "Trouble for Trumpets" (1982). There are already blackberries in the Suffolk hedgerows. Perhaps if I look more closely I'll find a world of enchantment & invention & industry, like in Cross's astonishing & intricate paintings!

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is a very early work by @ShirleyHughes_ for The Swineheard (Hans Anderson's Fairy Tales, retold Peachey, 1961). Gorgeous line drawing over simple colour wash. Completely charming. Don't forget, tomorrow @TheKateKent will be taking over for a few days!

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay Bit late posting today (sorry!)... hence choice. John Tenniel's White Rabbit from Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" 1865. Iconic, influential, beautiful.

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Polly Dunbar, from "Penguin" 2007. Her quirky line & sensitive themes mark her out as one of the best illustrators of her generation. Pedigree too, her mother is writer Joyce Dunbar! I love this great big hug. Who needs a hug today?

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by William Steig for "Doctor De Soto" (1982). Quirky charm & intelligent humour distinguish Steig's work which includes the original "Shrek". But this is my favourite, about a compassionate dentist mouse & a fox with toothache. A little masterpiece!

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Charles Robinson, the Palace of Sans-Souci from Oscar Wilde's Happy Prince (1899). Lesser known perhaps than Dulac or Rackham, Robinson brought his own melancholic & delicate style to classic stories. One of three artist brothers #heathrobinson

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by the extraordinary @fayehanson for her 2014 book "The Wonder". One of the truly outstanding books of recent years, I think. Faye has a real gift for storytelling through image and word. I you don't know her work, you have a treat in store!

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by @lesleybarnes for her glorious "Jill and the Dragon" (2015). I should have posted this Monday (St George's day!). I love how the story begins on the endpapers... I think Lesley's one of the finest illustrators of the new generation.

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by much missed Janet Ahlberg for husband Allan"s Each Peach Pear Plum (1978). Lots of Nursery characters enjoying a grand finale picnic... did anyone capture the essence of childhood with more charm and humour?
