Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. London. National Portrait Gallery Publications. 2002. Hard Cover. Quarter bound blue cloth spine over white pictorial laminated boards. Medium 8to 6.125 x 9.25 (15.6 x 23.5cm). approx. 131 pp. Lavishly illustrated on glossy heavy stock with many colour photographs of authors throughout. celebrates a century of children's literature through over 50 portraits of famous British writers and writer-illustrators, many of which have been selected from the collections of the National Portrait Gallery. From the idyllic rural England inhabited by charming animal characters created by Beatrix Potter and A.A. Milne, to the adventure stories of Arthur Ransome and Captain W.E. Johns, from Benjamin Zephaniah and Jacqueline Wilson's light-hearted but socially real depictions of children living in modern times to the escapism provided in the magical fantasy worlds of J.K. Rowling's phenomenally successful Harry Potter series, Julia Eccleshare's lively and informative text presents a vivid portrayal of some of the best-known children's writers. The works illustrated are arranged chronologically, divided into twenty-year periods, and include photographs, paintings, drawings and sculpture as well as manuscripts and book jackets of first editions. Each period begins with a general introduction, presenting the cultural context and historical background, followed by biographical descriptions of the writers themselves. The boards will be protected with a new inert archival 100 micron sleeve which is removable. Please contact us if you would like any more information or additional images.
