"...He is also particularly noted for having not just
illustrated the covers and contents of books but
inking the title text and author's name in his own
hand, giving the books a distinctive look on shelves..."

  1. Hey Victoria, I love Edward Ardizzone. My mum read me all the "Tims" when I was a kid and I bought my son some of them in repro form. Ardizzone has A Child's Christmas in Wales too. Great.

    Keep digging for Ardizzone material.
    Edward Ardizzone championed a certain style of illustration which is simple, effective and portrays a realistic and moderate attitude to life.
