Picture This: Children's Illustrated Classics

I went to see this exhibition on at the British Library, it was pretty cool (more info below)... if you're interested in children's book illustration I would def recommend checking out The Illustration Cupboard in Picadilly (a small and very beautiful gallery dedicated to childrens illustration) http://www.illustrationcupboard.com/default_flash.aspx

Discover how illustrators over the years have interpreted – and reinterpreted – our favourite tales in beautiful and imaginative ways. Through original artwork, rare editions and personal correspondence, be reunited with much-loved characters, including Paddington Bear, Peter Pan and Willy Wonka and classic works such as Just So Stories, The Wind in the Willows and The Hobbit. For more info click here
