One of the UK’s leading illustrators of children’s books, Ian brings a unique traditional charm and quality to everything he illustrates. Whether it be a fairy tale collection, picture book or fiction title, Ian has the ability to harmonise pictures and words that are a pleasure for both children and adults alike to enjoy.’
