Cover Story
Our front cover this month features an illutration by Mark Longworth for Gillian Cross's new paperback, The Revenge of the Demon Headmaster. Puffin publish this book in April 1995 (see the Gillian Cross Authorgraph for full details) and we are grateful to them for their help in using this illustration.
Leo and the Wallpaper Jungle
When Leo's well-meaning parents decide he's big enough to have his own room, they decorate it with jungle wallpaper. Leo's fearful reaction is predictably but amusingly depicted by Rachel Pank. The volume of this reaction quells the disbelief of the jungle animals as they try to come to terms with their minuscule King. From that day on, to his parents' amazement, Leo goes happily to bed each night - to rule over his jungle subjects.
