Lawson Wood

This Month - Lawson Wood - contributed by Lorna

When tidying along the shelves in the Annuals section at Rose's books I find that the shelf below the 'Girl' annuals and above the 'Greyfriars Holiday' annuals always seems to take a little longer. The reason? This is the shelf where the Gran'Pop Annuals live and I can't resist a peep at the illustrations within. I have to smile every time I see an illustration of the charming ape family; I love the detail, from the expressions on the apes' faces to the human characteristics shown in the subject matter. As I enjoy these illustrations so much I decided, via the internet, to find out a little more about their creator - Lawson Wood.

Featured Book - Edmond Went Far Away - contributed by Joanne

A recently published book in comparison to many in our shop, 'Edmond Went Far Away' is a short tale of a young boy's Big Adventure to 'another land', far away from his home.

It was the pictures that drew me to the book initially - beautiful bright colour illustrations by well loved illustrator Michael Foreman.

Edmond is a young boy who lives on a farm, and is fortunate enough to call all the farmyard animals his friends. Read More.
