A fully illustrated overview of the life and work of the universally loved Quentin Blake, released ahead of the artist' s 90th birthday in December 2022. Quentin Blake is an artist who has charmed and inspired generations of readers. Tracing Blake' s art and career from his very first drawings - published in Punch when he was 16 - through his collaborations with writers from Roald Dahl and John Yeoman to Russell Hoban and David Walliams, to his large-scale works for hospitals and public spaces and right up to his most recent passions and projects, acclaimed author Jenny Uglow here presents a fully illustrated overview of Quentin Blake' s extraordinary body of work, with accompanying commentary by the artist himself. With unprecedented access to the artist' s entire archive, The Quentin Blake Book reveals the stories behind some of Blake' s most famous creations, while also providing readers with an intimate insight into the unceasing creativity of this remarkable artist.
