is by 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.

is by the phenomenal Lisbeth Zwerger, for Thumbelina (1988). A remarkable water-colourist, her work has a classic, timeless quality that I love.
