New book: The Dark

The Dark, Orchard Books

I can't wait to get my hands on this book written by Lemony Snicket and illustrated by the most wonderful Jon Klassen. And the really exciting part - Jon Klassen will be here in the UK for a 10 date book tour in May! The Dark is released in the UK on the 2nd April, ISBN 1408330024.

Needless to say I am totally smitten with the Klassen's illustrative talents and macabre humour. I love what's left unsaid in his books. 

The Burst of Beaden website showcases all his projects. Here are some gorgeous artworks made as concept art for one of my all time favourite films, Coraline.
