#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is one of a series of lithographs by Marc Chagall for the Arabian Nights. Here's Camar-al-zaman and Badoura. Gorgeous, mysterious, lyrical, intoxicating images, which I have bound into a little German edition.
#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Margot Zemach from Herve Zemach's The Judge: An Untrue Story (1969), a witty cautionary tale with a gorgeously bonkers Jabberwocky type creature.
#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Paul Galdone for that most debonair of mice, "Anatole" by Eve Titus. Love the limited (French flag) colour! (1956)
#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is a month old!!! Let's celebrate! But it's raining so, you might need your "U for Umbrellas" - by legendary and marvellous @ShirleyHughes_ . From Lucy & Tom's ABC (1984). Who else captures childhood with such observation and energy?
#BookIllustrationOf TheDay is from Oscar Wilde's heartbreaking The Happy Prince, by the outstanding (outgoing) Irish Children's Laureate. @PJLynchArt. I can't think of anyone who commands *light* or understands *perspective* like PJ. He's also the loveliest person you could meet.
#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by the phenomenal Lisbeth Zwerger, for Thumbelina (1988). A remarkable water-colourist, her work has a classic, timeless quality that I love.
Controversially, I always preferred Nancy Ekholm Burkert's ills for Dahl's James & Giant Peach to Quentin Blake's. #favekidsbookart
One of my all time fave Moomin illustrations, from The Dangerous Journey @MoominOfficial #favekidsbookart
#favekidsbookart I still think Errol le Cain's Snow Queen is the best ever @autumnrosewell
