This book is a collaboration between the author and illustrator, who were asked by the publisher Andrew Moorhouse to look at a painting by Bruegel to see if this might spark a response from them. Symmons Roberts’ poem and Jake Attree oil pastels, beautifully reproduced here in colour, are the happy fruit. Bound in pale olive green cloth and quarter bound in russet leather, with orange end papers, this is a limited, letterpress edition of 75 copies. Signed by both author and illustrator.
