International number one bestselling author Jeffrey Archer is a master of the short story form, creating classic tales beloved by his fans and hitting the top of the bestseller lists. This illustrated edition is a collection of his best-loved stories.
In The Short, The Long and The Tall the master storyteller joins forces with renowned illustrator Paul Cox, to re-imagine twenty of Jeffrey Archer's most popular and feted short stories alongside beautifully rendered watercolour illustrations.
Find out what happens to the hapless young detective from Naples who travels to an Italian hillside town to solve a murder and ends up falling in love; and the pretentious schoolboy whose discovery of the origins of his father’s wealth changes his life forever. Revel in the stories of the woman who dares to challenge the men at her Ivy League university during the 1930s, and another young woman who thumbs a lift and has an encounter she will never forget. Discover the haunting story about four men whose characters are tested to the point of death. Finally, a short parable about how pointless war is, and how decent people are caught up in the crossfire of their leaders’ ambitions. This will be a must-buy for dedicated fans of both the author and illustrator’s work.

Before Andrew and Jamie, there was N. C. Wyeth. The star student of
Howard Pyle's Brandywine School, Newell Convers Wyeth (1882-1945)
created more than 3,000 illustrations in the course of his career.
This original full-color collection focuses on his most popular
illustrations, featuring early works that date from 1910-30. More
than 100 iconic images include scenes from "The Last of the
Mohicans, The Mysterious Stranger, Robin Hood, Robinson Crusoe, Rip
Van Winkle, The Boy's King Arthur, " and other books.
Wyeth's fame and greatest commercial success derived from his work
for Scribners' Illustrated Classics. Starting with the 1911 edition
of "Treasure Island, " the artist provided images for more than 25
volumes in the series. Many of those illustrations appear here, in
a treasury of stirring, dramatic visions that captured the
imaginations of the storybook readers of a century ago and continue
to speak to modern audiences.
Alice was created by British mathematician, photographer, and
writer Lewis Carroll, inspired by the daughter of some friends.
Carroll fantasized about taking the child to a parallel-reality
world which he called "Wonderland". Alice has inspired movies,
songs, video games, and all kinds of books. The book is a tribute
to this fanciful girl and all the friends she meets along the way,
including the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, and the Mad Hatter.
Each character shines in their own right and reveals its unique
personality in each encounter with Alice. Twenty-eight illustrators
offer us a personal version of each character, revealing something
more of their art and aesthetic. Have a happy, creative journey to
wonderland!
Carrington's beguiling letters take us beyond the Bloomsbury group
to discuss sexual mores, how to be an artist, and what it is to be
truly oneself. Known only by her surname, Dora Carrington was the
star of her year at the Slade School of Fine Art, and was friends
with some of the greatest minds of her day, including Virginia
Woolf, Rosamund Lehmann and Maynard Keynes. For over a decade she
was the companion of homosexual writer Lytton Strachey, and -
stricken without him- killed herself when he died in 1932. Though
she never achieved the fame her early career promised, in her
determination to live life according to her own nature - especially
in relation to her work and her fluid attitude to sex, gender and
sexuality - she fought battles that remain familiar and urgent
today. Now, through her passionate, playful and honest letters, we
can encounter the maverick artist and compelling personality afresh
and in her own words.

A tale from the Brothers Grimm provides inspiration for three
gifted students from the world-renowned Art Center College of
Design in Pasadena, California. Khang Le, Mike Yamada, and Felix
Yoon were guided by their instructor, Scott Robertson, to create
original design solutions for the environments, characters, props,
and vehicles found within "The Skillful Huntsman". The trio's
sketches and full-color renderings thoroughly document the creative
process of concept design, revealing a host of intriguing places -
from sci-fi cities to castles - and people - from giants to
royalty. A must for artists, aspiring entertainment designers,
comic aficionados, and anyone interested in the creative process,
"The Skillful Huntsman" offers insight into the mysterious world of
the imagination.
