Cover Story
Our cover this issue was created from the endpapers of the Blue Book and the Yellow Book of Hob Stories to be published by Walker Books later this year. Hob made his first appearance last year in the Red and Green Books of Stories about him by William Mayne. Patrick Benson who did the illustrations has just won the Mother Goose Award. For more details see Ed's Page (opposite) and the report of the Mother Goose Award (page 10). We are most grateful to Walker Books for help in using these illustrations.

Witty, poetic text and superb artistry combine to tell this sardonic tale of the time the Man in the Moon came down to Earth and was driven away by an over-defensive World. Look at the unbending shapes of the statesmen and the secret policeman compared with the light-bright butterflies in the double page spread of the garden. The young won't miss the point of the story as the artist shows rather than tells.
