John Masefield Jonathan Edward Masefield (1878–1967) was an English poet and writer, and Poet Laureate from 1930 until his death. He is remembered as the author of the classic children's novels The Midnight Folk and The Box of Delights, two novels Captain Margaret and Multitude and Solitude and a great deal of memorable poetry, including "The Everlasting Mercy", and "Sea-Fever", from his anthology Saltwater Ballads. Quentin Blake's first drawings were published in Punch when he was 16. He is known for his collaboration with writers such as Russell Hoban, Joan Aiken, Michael Rosen, and, most famously, Roald Dahl. He has also created much-loved characters of his own. Quentin Blake’s books have won numerous prizes and awards, including the Whitbread Award, the Kate Greenaway Medal, the Emil/Kurt Maschler Award and the international Bologna Ragazzi Prize. He won the 2002 Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustration and in 2004 he was awarded the 'Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres'. Now in his 70s he is recognised as 'a national institution'. In 1999 he was appointed the first ever Children's Laureate.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Rowland Hilder (illustrator). This Large Print hardback was published by Clio Press of Oxford, England in 1987, in arrangement with William Heinemann Ltd and Delacourte Press, New York. The book was printed and bound in Old Woking, Surrey. The condition of the book is 'Very Good' but subject to all three open page edges being yellowed as presumably a consequence of the printing paper not been acid-free. The upper edge of the closed text pages has what seems like two small tippex stains but these are not visible when reading the pages. The book has solid pictorial boards and was published without a dust-jacket. The book has 296 numbered pages. The illustrations by Rowland Hilder are very well done but lose much of their impact and beauty by being printed with the text. The size of the book in inches is 8.8 x 5.6 and it weighs 0.48 kg. As with all our sales of books within the UK, we only ever charge a flat standard delivery cost of £3.35. Seller Inventory # 005569
