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.

The Perfect Hamburger
An immediately engaging story for those just going solo and with the confidence to tackle a more sustained text than most picture books offer. Originally one of the 'Antelope' series this tells of a boy's frantic search for that elusive ingredient needed to make the hamburger that can save Mr Borthwick's business.
