Keeping insisted 'that no child could be altogether shielded from accident, horror & inevitable realities' (if handled sensitively). From his own childhood, he had been gripped by ghost stories & this would lead to another monochrome quartet (9/10)

Hailed as the 'most brilliant and original British artist' of his period, his work is still often met with some reservation because of its subject matter & sophistication. He has illustrated many great writers including Garner, Sutcliff, Trease & Ashley to name a few (3/3)

A little thread on British artist/author/illustrator, #CharlesKeeping

Born in Lambeth, Keeping has a strong childhood memory of peering through holes in a fence outside his home: 'It was like looking at things on a stage.' These 'tableaux' of moments inspired his work (1/3)

I like this from Margaret Meek. The suggestion that sometimes there are books that, should the young reader be encouraged to find the stamina and patience to keep going a little longer, will bring new riches and joys. I can certainly relate to this as a young reader. https://t.co/XcL7Hn14sH

Well, there's an intertextual connection that I didn't see coming, @LizzaAiken :

'We are the avengers of blood. Sisters of the nymph with the apple-bough, Nemesis. We are the Erinyes, the Kindly Ones...'

'Fantasy is the natural, the appropriate, language for the recounting of the spiritual journey and the struggle of good and evil in the soul.' (Ursula Le Guin)

In. The. Soul.

This made me think of both of you @neilphilipmyth @neilhimself @frankcottrell_b @nickswarb

@Jo_c_gray @smithsmm @KarlDuke8 @jonnybid @lauralodge208 @_Reading_Rocks_ @Petersbooks @TeresaCremin I'll happily recommend but if it were me, I'd sit him down in front of @RuddickRichard Padlet and have a good browse. Here are 4 lovely stories:

@JZQWalker @RuddickRichard @jonnybid @ANewChapterBks @theliteracytree I've enjoyed these:

Maurice Sendak on Randolph Caldecott: '[He] is an illustrator, he is a songwriter, he is a choreographer, he is a stage manager, he is a decorator, he is a theatre person, he's superb, simply.'

Sendak: 'Many of the artists who influenced me were illustrators I accidentally came upon.'

I wonder, Twitterers, whether you know these artists that inspired Sendak?
