I am full of admiration for a married couple that can work together (frankly, I am full of admiration for a couple that can even live together - but now is not the time or place!) These two,
Alice and Martin Provensen are my current favourite illustrator pair, working together from the 1950's, they were also creators of breakfast hero
Tony the Tiger.
My sister and I are slightly competitively hunting down their portfolio of beautifully illustrated children's books and I know she will be coveting this one. Aesops Fables retold by
Louis Untermeyer with the loveliest illustrations packed full of funny little details and busy characters.
i thought i spied a provensen classic. i've also been hunting them down. they are worthy purchases indeed, what a pair!
