I have always become deeply involved with the books I have illustrated and fascinated by both the stories and the authors behind them. Peter Pan - an illustration from which is featured in the slide show above - was an interesting project for example.  For when I started researching this book and its author JM Barrie, some intriguing facts came to light. Apparently, Barrie's mother did not want him to grow up and kept him clothed as a youngster for many years; well into his early 'teens. He also invented the Christian name of Wendy; one that did not exist prior to the publication of the book Peter Pan.

“Wind in the Willows” was another interesting project and one which allowed me to fulfil an ambition of mine to illustrate this work of author Kenneth Grahame.

With its loveable characters Ratty, Mole, Toad and Badger, each representing their section of the British Class system of the time; upper class, middle class and working class, it was understandable that it should become one of the all time classics of English literature.

You can purchase Giclee fine art prints from these and other  classic children's books featured in the Gallery. All prints are from limited editions, individually numbered and signed by me.
