Oh! I just love the strange illustrations in this book, 'Kdo je nejsilnejsi?' by Gabriela Dubska (1915-2003) published in 1967. The spangle eyed whale is just a delight as is the anthropomorphised iceberg.
'Dick Witington and his Cat' published in 1979 by Oscar Weigle and beautifully illustrated with this characterful cat by Delwyn Cunningham.
'What's right for Tulip' 1969, yet another Roger Duvoisin treasure, I will be sad when there are no more to be found, how gorgeous is the polar bear.
An illustrated book of poetry 'Rokavigasztalo' by Adam Wurtz published in 1973. I am enjoying finding this Hungarian illustrators back catalogue of wild colourful illustrations and great linear works.
'A Harom Amulett', collection of fairy tales by Azsiai Mesék, 1984 magically illustrated by Adam Wurtz with his tell tale psychedelic colours, loose brushwork and line.
A book of three stories;"The Ice Cream Story," "The Rain Story," and "The Whale Story." 1966. Written by Tadeusz Sliwiak and illustrated by Jerzy Srokowski with fantastic collage and line work.
Philip Dey Eastman illustrations for his 1958 book "Sam and the Firefly". P.D Eastman ( 1909 –1986) was an animator for Walt Disney until 1942, when he was drafted to the army, fortuitously to the Signal Corps film unit, which was headed by Theodor Geisel, who later became known as Dr. Seuss. From 1945-1952 he worked as writer and storyboard artist for 'Mr Magoo' animations. Philip Dey Eastman also wrote and illustrated many children's books. In 1952 he started his freelance career and he was encouraged by Theodor Geisel to write a series of children's books for his 'BEGINNER BOOKS' project at Random House.
