Creator of Animalia, The Eleventh Hour, The Waterhole and many other bestselling titles, Graeme Base has won the hearts of children and adults around the world with his lavishly illustrated picture books. The Art of Graeme Base explores the life and work of this remarkable artist, and includes more than 200 illustrations, many of which have never been seen before. In this delightful account, former Penguin publisher Julie Watts looks closely at what went on behind the making of each of his books, as well as the creation of his musical and screen works.
