Nothing much ...Glad you're feeling well again!<br /><br />Nothing much to say -- I don't have any books with these types of illustrations. But I will say that <i>Rikki Tikki Tavi</i> is one of my favourite stories ever -- as a kid and now.NomadUKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730513615909994019.post-39472714736102276902011-11-17T20:18:43.780+00:002011-11-17T20:18:43.780+00:00Yeah, the illustrations vary wildly from story to ...Yeah, the illustrations vary wildly from story to story.

I've never much cared for it either. It's sort of the bastard child of the pre-Raphaelites and Art Deco. There is one artist who has developed the style further into something more palatable, but his name escapes me. He's done a lot of covers for Terry Windling projects and won a couple of Hugos.<br /><br />The book obviously took its illustrations from a number of periods and sources. I'm pretty sure I had those Rikki-Tikki-Tavi illustrations in a book when I was a kid in the 60s or early 70s. And of course, those are the original Pooh illustrations on the cover.DemetriosXnoreply@blogger.com
