Leonard Weisgard was a ward-winning illustrator of over 200 children’s books. “As a schoolboy, he was dissatisfied with the books supplied by the public schools he attended. He found the illustrations monotonous and thought that the world could not be all that dreary and limited to only one colour.” So he changed it! His books use a wide range of beautiful colours, creating a magic world…

His Alice version, often classified as “astonishingly”, is considered one of the 10 best ever produced. Is certainly one of my favourites!
