I set myself the assignment of doing a book cover for one of my beloved childhood books (still a favorite book actually). I would be in heaven if someone actually asked me to illustrate The Wolves of Willoughby Chase! It has everything I like, including a Victorian setting complete with an evil governess, a dickensian orphanage, secret passages, a winsome boy who lives with a flock of geese, clever disguises, and of course, wolves.

Breathtaking. I can't stop gazing at the illustration, it's stunningly beautiful, and has such an air of mystery about it! It should find its way into your shop somehow.:)
It's exquisite--and this is perhaps my favourite childhood book. I re-read it recently, and it is still magical, as is this illustration. Thank you.
Sounds like a wonderful story that would be made even more magical, with your lovely illustrations. Gorgeous picture.
lovely! i hope someone approaches you about illustrating it.
This is a beautiful illustration and I adore your typography! I may have to purchase this book and have a read :) xx
This is gorgeous. I love the jaw structure of the girls, they look determined.
Lovely beyond words (and within them, too)!! I've not read this, and now...I must hunt it down! You are a born illustrator!!
I love this idea! And your illustration is just perfect, so delicate and mysterious. I just posted about an old volume of Jane Eyre that I found with the most fantastically creepy illustrations...they are my current obsession!
Happy Painting!~
Beautiful work, as always, visiting here is a treat.
