Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
When Amanda got in touch to ask if I’d like to receive review copies of their Life Portraits series, I couldn’t say yes fast enough. They could scarcely have picked two better authors to cater to my taste – Jane Austen and Virginia Woolf are firm favourites of mine, and this comes just as I’m getting into graphic books.
Jane Austen and Virginia Woolf are by Zena Alkayat, illustrated by Nina Cosford. You’ll be hearing about them again from me soon, but I couldn’t resist sharing about them immediately.
These look fantastic!
I’m so excited about them!
How absolutely lovely, Simon! I’m currently (re) reading some of Woolf’s short stories (Selected Short Stories volume) and just stunned to be reminded what a writer she is. Just brilliant.
I also forget, and then read some, and am blown away all over again. Truly a once-in-a-century talent.
Simon, against all odds you’ve influenced me to order TWO graphic books. These look delightful, so charming. Barnes & Noble displays an inside page and it’s great. Sigh – never say never. :)
Susan! Gracious! That was a quick turnaround ;)
I think there *is* a section of graphic books that suits people like us. They’re just well hidden.
I like the sketch of Jane’s mother in the garden.
Oh! They are wonderful.
Ooh!
