Description
Book Synopsis
Savor the work of the well-loved and lauded illustrator Quentin Blake in this keepsake collection of fun, quirky drawings that will delight both longtime devotees and emerging young fans. A chef in mid-fall, balancing a towering, toppling cake. A bespectacled gentleman riding a multi-wheeled bike, with a man on his back juggling eggs. Known for their whimsy and wit and uncanny ability to convey worlds of expression with only the scantest of line, Quentin Blake's illustrations have long been linked to the work of storytellers such as Roald Dahl, but in this book they shine on their own. Originally self-published in a series of slim titles dubbed the QB Papers--collections of drawings, varied in tone and approach, evoking journeys both real and imaginary--the images in Quentin Blake's Fantastic Journeys fall under titles such as "Trip Hazards," "Feet in the Water," and "Ten Things You Cannot Really Manage Without." Curated both for maximum child-friendliness and for the shelves of art-book collectors, this beauty of a gift book is a sheer pleasure, guaranteed to invite many a revisit.Review Quotes
As ever, this artist promises creative and madcap catastrophe, but readers can rest assured--the turn of each page offers unexpected (if occasionally macabre) delights. .. .An aptly named exercise in imagination.
--Kirkus Reviews
