The first book done in partnership by John Yeoman and Quentin Blake, in a facsimile edition that will enchant young readers and adults alike
Originally published in 1960, this classic tale from beloved author John Yeoman and renowned illustrator Quentin Blake is a collection of seven charming animal fables. It was the first children’s book published by either John Yeoman or Quentin Blake, who are still producing books in partnership today nearly sixty years later. This facsimile edition reproduces the original publication and features a new foreword by Quentin Blake.
Young readers will adore the observant and logical monkey’s attempts to find a drink of water, as well the entertaining cast of animals featured in each story.
The creative partnership between John Yeoman and Quentin Blake will be the subject of a retrospective exhibition at the House of Illustration in London opening October 6, 2017.
