The Little Mohee

The Little Mohee is an American ballad and was my first published picture book. I was 22 years old and had just graduated from Hornsey College of Art. The folk song is found all over the USA, but I was inspired by the story of Pocahontas,so I set the illustrations around that period of American history. It was published by Macmillan.

Quest and Conquest

Quest and Conquest by James Reeves is Pilgrim's Progress retold. My black and white line illustrations were inspired by The Kelmscott Chaucer by William Morris.

The Great Ball Play

This folk tale comes from the Creek of the South Eastern States of the USA. The Native Americans invented the game of Lacrosse, and it was played by many different tribes all over North America. The inspiration for my illustrations, however, was watching my sons playing park football as young children. This book was published by 'Happy Cat Books'.

Believe it or Not

This nonsense story is one of the many Law Tales told in Burma. These tales always have a judgement at the end of them delivered by the wonderfully named ' Princess-Learned-in Law.' The book is out of print but Amazon have a few copies still.
