Wilfried Blecher V

'No End of Nonsense' written by Jack Prelutsky and illustrated by Wilfried Blecher, published in1968. I first blogged this book two years ago, but revisiting it found more illustrations to share. Many of Wilfried's books were in German and therefore harder for me to access, but I will keep trying to find more as I adore his style and details.

Victor Ambrus III

This story By Victor Ambrus published in 1972 by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, is really a parable of our 'data centre' time. 

A selfish sultan greedily demands water for his daily bath, not realising the hardships this is causing.
