Magic Pencil: Children's Book Illustration Today FROM THE PUBLISHER
Magic Pencil shows how today's illustrators reflect contemporary concerns with equal force and originality; and how their work incontestably establishes this as a second golden age of British children's book illustration. The illustrators are introduced by Quentin Blake and set in their historical context in a richly illustrated essay by Joanna Carey.
