BfK 99 July 1996

July 1, 1996/in /by Richard Hill

This month BfK features Jane Ray’s cover for The Twelve Dancing Princesses. We’re particularly delighted to have the opportunity to use this illustration as it enables us to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Orchard Books – they’re 10 this year! And also to thank them for their help in producing our July cover.
