So, having read your post, I picked up two books that happened to be close at hand and then, you know how it is, a few thoughts were suddenly turning into a full blown post. So that's what I'm doing - writing a post on the subject to complement yours - with full credit to Random D, for setting the wheels in motion.60GoingOn16https://www.blogger.com/profile/14216400213406672396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-44465860406288577232008-01-10T10:17:00.000+00:002008-01-10T10:17:00.000+00:00Brideofthebookgod, what a wonderful nickname!

I think children's book illustrators would be an excellent study in itself but I'm looking first at Victorian women illustrators, contemporaries of Evelyn Paul. Although that group includes Kate Greenaway, so I could be distracted!monixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631194815411019266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-17951826517763144132008-01-09T23:54:00.000+00:002008-01-09T23:54:00.000+00:00Now that sounds like an interesting thing to get y...Now that sounds like an interesting thing to get your teeth into - illustrators. Perhaps I should rephrase that... ;-) Good illustrations can really enhance a book. I love the ones in the Sherlock Holmes books for instance and my favourite children's illustrator is Edward Ardizzone. I have a prized copy of Minnow on the Say by Philippa Pearce with gorgeous drawings by him. I'll be interested to see where you go with this.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-33980707321193754932008-01-09T22:15:00.000+00:002008-01-09T22:15:00.000+00:00Keep us posted.Keep us posted.erphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826044412670324694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-39226992534550389542008-01-09T21:20:00.000+00:002008-01-09T21:20:00.000+00:00It was good fun, e.
