Well, let me tell you, often great illustrators give the finishing touch to an already great book, and it happens to compliment the plot and the characters. I know what some claim: people who pick books based on covers or pictures inside the books, do not fully appreciate fine literature.

Was it the need to quickly choose something on top of three other books and make it to the register before the library closed? The answer is – all of the aforementioned and Chris Riddell. ![]()
