BfK No. 25 - March 1984

Cover Story
On our cover this month we feature an illustration from The Swineherd, a picture book version of the Andersen fairy tale by artist Lisbeth Zwerger. (Neugebauer Press, 0 907234 127, £3.95 from A. and C. Black). We are grateful to A. and C. Black for help in using this illustration. The roundel used on the Hans Andersen pages is from the wood engraving by Gwen Raverat for Four Tales, translated by R. P. Keigwin, C.U.P. (1935). It and the Punch cartoon on page 16 appear in Brian Alderson's pamphlet Hans Christian Andersen and his Eventyr in England.

A further pair of Curry's books for the under fives which aim to stimulate an interest in the senses. The simple pictures - large bold blocks of colour outlined in black - are supported and extended by a first person narrative in carefully chosen words that aptly convey the sensual nature of the subjects.
