during the mad hot dash through

but think they are awfully
ardizzone-ish. or was our
beloved edward a. sort of
goethe-ish? either way, i do
love stopping by- visiting the
photos- and remembering that
sweltery day in a v. quiet house.
nothing like a blast of heat to keep
the other tourists at bay. a true delight.

A comment was left today (see below)
and I'd like to respond, here: I am most
happy to dig, Anon, and do completely
and with all my heart agree with what
you have written. Delighted to comply.
"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."

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..."
