The Queen Has Arrived.

The queen has arrived all the way from Italy on the sea of Daniela Tordi's wonderful imagination. Strangely despite being an Italian Queen she reminds me of a morris dancer with her exotic and strange costume. 
Thank you Daniela.

Daniela Tordi

One of the lovely things about doing this blog is that I constantly get to meet such lovely people. Today I managed to see Daniela Tordi at the Bologna Children's Book Fair. 
Daniela is a self taught illustrator who after many years in journalism is now doing what she loves which is writing and illustrating, here she is with her lovely book about a rescued goose, Lo scrittore e l'oca (The writer and the Goose).
