A fascinating introduction to the art and techniques of the illustrator who, in Miffy, 'created one of the most recognizable characters in the world' (The New York Times).
Bruce Ingman is an internationally exhibited and published illustrator, as well as Lecturer in Illustration at Goldsmiths, University of London, and at Belfast School of Art, Ulster University. His first book, When Martha's Away, won The National Art Library Award, and he has since produced many highly distinctive books, including My Worst Book Ever! with Allan Ahlberg (Thames & Hudson). Ramona Reihill worked for many years as a children's book editor, looking after a list that included Miffy. More recently she has been involved with the creative writing charity Fighting Words as a facilitator and writing mentor.
In this handsome volume, readers ages 10 and older can trace the artistic evolution of both Bruna and his famous creation [Miffy]. Enhanced by artwork and archival photographs, it's a fascinating exploration of the discipline required to produce images of apparent simplicity.-- "The Wall Street Journal"
