Jan B Balet IV

'Bean Blossom Hill' by Martha Bennett King and Illustrated by Jan B. Balet, published in 1957. Not my favourite from these two creatives but I do love these models that were included in the back of this series of books. 

Jan B Balet III

Papa Pompino' written by Martha Bennett King, illustrated in clean graphic images by Jan Balet. Published in 1959.

Judy Varga II

A special treat for bonfire night is 'The dragon who liked to spit fire', by Judy Varga,  published in 1961 by Morrow. This lovely book is published in two colours purple and orange which zing across the pages, an absolute delight.

Gerald Rose XVIII

 

Ah the great Gerald Rose! I adore! This time his talents were put to illustrating 'The Pied Piper' retold by Barbara Ireson and published by Faber in 1961. If rats looked like these I would want them to stay, they are so full of joy and fun.
