A quartet of Quentin Blake illustrations of the appallingly-behaved Badfort crowd from JP Martin's Uncle books. I found these pictures fabulously funny and anarchic when I was seven, and I still do.

First Barbara Jones was from adult me. Second illustration for is by Kathleen Hale, whose books I loved as a child and are probably what made me receptive to Ravilious and Bawden in later life.

Lizbeth Zwerger is my third my great illustration hero.
Her exceptional drawing skill combined with a light touch in her use of watercolour to produce magical art like this from "The Swineherd” by HC Andersen.
