Cover Story
The anarchic hero of many daring adventures, William, as depicted on our cover by Thomas Henry in one of his effective, humorous pen and ink illustrations, is now a period piece. A William de nos jours illustrated by Tony Ross and aimed at a younger audience stands alongside him. This new William will be featured in adaptations of the stories by Martin Jarvis. Richmal Crompton, author of the William books, is the subject of this issue's Authorgraph. Thanks to Macmillan Children’s Books for their help with this November cover.
Hey Diddle Diddle
A large format board book containing a dozen favourite nursery rhymes: with the exception of Humpty Dumpty, all the characters including Jack and Jill are animals. Printed in large type and illustrated with bold, jaunty, agreeably slap-dash illustrations this will be fun for toddlers and beginner readers.
