About this Item
60pp., Pictorial full colour illustrated dustjacket covered in removable protective clear plastic, orig. purple cloth boards with black text to spine, tan eps., col. illust. title-page, blake's birds by Peter Campbell, col. & b/w illust., line drawings, the birds. The pictures in The Life of Birds are bigger, broader and more sombre, but no less lively than his much-loved and hugely admired children's book illustrations. Here Quentin Blake follows in the path of the great illustrators, such as Daumier and Lear, and of fabulists like Aesop and La Fontaine. Wonderfully acute observations of how birds behave become a commentary- kindly, but penetrating- on human nature. Size: Large Oblong Quarto. Seller Inventory # 004887
