Description

Kenneth Grahame's classic children's stories, which depict the adventures of the amiable Mole and the Water Rat and the comic misadventures of the wayward Toad, are collected in this beautiful volume. Carefully abridged by the artist herself, this version of the beloved stories is instantly accessible to a young picture book readership. Wind in the Willows Print - Childrens Room Decor - Nursery Art - Map Decor - Wall Art Gifts for Children #vi224 After leaving school, Moore took a variety of jobs. Raymond Briggs’s book Father Christmas (1973) inspired her to want to illustrate books, and she began to look for work as an illustrator. [2] An early work, Aktil’s Big Swim (1980), tells the story of a Dover mouse who decides to swim the English Channel, not understanding how wide it is.

Published in October the 9th, 2016, this first post of mine on this great artist had zero likes (the one by my sister was of course put by me, since she had passed away a couple of months before) and very few visits (Very few!). So I think it is time to give it another chance to be watched and –I’m sure of it– appreciated by some of my followers.]

Truly lovely illustrations. When you said ‘the story looks like this, and no other way’, I know just what you mean. It appalls me when the classic book illustrations are done over in modern re-issues, such as the Peter Rabbit series, or Alice in Wonderland… it’s practically criminal, so painful to even see.

Born in Sussex but brought up in Australia from the age of eight, Moore feels a powerful attachment to the English countryside. Her school in ­Adelaide had an impressive library where all the children's books (mostly British) were uniformly leather bound. At 14 her favourite was Boswell's account of Dr Johnson's travels in the Hebrides. I duplicate the original post with only minor corrections in the text and some tags added]: [Pala late –Ari: mrni jagorri– , kai kamlas “E Balval ande le Selchinde”… Me xalem lako ilo!] Inga Moore loves the English countryside landscape and, out of this love, she has developed a charming, truly beautiful style, richly detailed and textural –amidst the current trends toward minimalistic or even abstract children’s book illustration–; and brought it to great achievements, like her work for Grahame’s “The Wind in the Willows” or, more recently, for Frances Hodgson Burnett’s“The Secret Garden”. Ms. Moore works eclectically, through a multi-layered approach, using graphite and coloured pencils, Indian ink, watercolour and even oil paints. But when her flat was repossessed, she decided to leave London, and found a rambling, upstairs apartment in a crumbling Palladian pile in rural Gloucestershire. And that's where we meet, buzzards wheeling overhead as Moore shows me round. "I knew immediately that with this position, the quality of the light in the studio and the abundance of wildlife, it was the perfect place to live and work on The Wind in the Willows," she says. "I could never have done it in London."
