Oddly enough I was going to include some of Sendak's Wild THings and also Alexis Deacon's work from 'While you are Sleeping' which seems to have a frisson of unease and slight menace in the illustrations. But the post would've been too long. Another time maybe or for someone else to take up on. Will look up the images for 'The Juniper Tree' now, Lily. Thanks for that.Dianne Hofmeyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222157214605257030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-54485706878106422002012-11-16T12:15:46.726+00:002012-11-16T12:15:46.726+00:00Disturbing stuff!

They remind me a little of the Maurice Sendak engravings for Grimm's tales (I think the book's called The Juniper Tree)- also quite menacing.<br /><br />I always did think 'rock a bye baby' was a horrible rhyme...
