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.
Nothing Scares Us
Illustrated by Neal Layton
'Nothing and no one scares us' sing best friends Lucy and Lenny, 'the Fearless Two'. But Lucy is terrified of the slimy green Creature on television, whose horrors intrude even into her sleep, and Lenny is petrified by a little spider on his bowl of popcorn. Beginning with the striking cover, the boldly outlined childlike drawings and the bright colours will attract young readers to this warm-hearted tale of fears overcome and supportive friendship.
