Another amazing book illustrated by Janet and Anne Grahame Johnstone for you. They were twins - Janet drew the animals and Anne drew the period costumes. They illustrated more than 100 books. Before my 15-month old baby daughter was born, I used mod-podge to mount some pictures that I took out of my second copy of the Dean/Johnstones book of Mother Goose - I didn't post those pictures on that blog post at the time so I will post them here. As you can see they are not actually on the wall of the nursery as they are supposed to be yet!! I really must get around to doing that ...

Wow, those illustrations are amazing. They have a neat glow to them.
ReplyDeleteI own Dean's fairy tales and Dean's book of Nursery Rhymes- but this one I have not seen before. I can NOT get enough of their illustrations. TO DIE FOR!
ReplyDeleteI know, I want to collect all their books!!
