Item description from seller

The First UK printing published by Tate Publishing, London in 2012. Both the BOOK and the WRAPPER are in near Fine condition. The wrapper is protected in a removable Brodart archival protector. The book has been Signed (without dedication) to the title page by Sir Quentin Blake and a copy of the ticket for the signing event accompanies this title as provenance. Quentin Blake is one of the best-known and best-loved illustrators in the world, creating brilliant and iconic characters for amongst others Russell Hoban, Joan Aiken, Michael Rosen and most famously Roald Dahl. He has won numerous awards over the years, including the 'Whitbread Award', the 'Kate Greenaway Medal' and the 'Hans Christian Andersen Award' for Illustration. In 1999 he was appointed the first ever 'Children's Laureate' and in 2005 was created CBE. In 'Beyond the Page' Blake writes about his projects since 2000, vividly describing his working processes, his collaborators, his travels and his various projects and commissions, including his illustrated walls projects for hospitals in the UK and France Generously illustrated with 240 full-colour reproductions of his inimitable work, this is an unsurpassed collection of Quentin Blake's achievements. Increasingly elusive with these attributes. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.…
