Quentin Blake's Fantastic Journeys: Fanciful Drawings and Surprising Situations by Quentin Blake

Quentin Blake's Fantastic Journeys: Fanciful Drawings and Surprising Situations by Quentin Blake

An illustrated trip through the imagination of national treasure, Sir Quentin Blake.

Skateboarding grannies, fantastical flying machines, juggling hitchhikers, ten-legged monsters, and banana-balancing acrobats – enter the quirky world of Sir Quentin Blake in this delightful and witty collection of chance encounters and imaginative fancies. Sections include ‘Trip Hazards’, ‘Things You Cannot Really Manage Without’, ‘Deliveries from Elsewhere’ and ‘On the Wing’, drawn from Quentin Blake’s QB Papers, and specially selected here for a young audience. Whimsical and funny illustrations in pen and wash reveal the artist’s delight in the joy of the natural world and of human (and monster) encounters. In a lavish jacketed hardback, with an introduction by the artist, this is the perfect gift to delight young and old alike.

Sir Quentin Blake is one of the world’s foremost illustrators, particularly renowned for his collaboration with writers such as Russell Hoban, Michael Rosen, Joan Aiken and Roald Dahl. His books have won numerous awards, including the Whitbread Prize, the Kate Greenaway Medal and the Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustration. In 1999 he was appointed the first Children’s Laureate, in 2005 was created a CBE and in 2013 received a knighthood for his services to illustration and was made a Companion of Honour in 2023.
