Picture Book
I have just been watching the second episode of the BBC's story of the picture book, imaginatively called Picture Book. I didn't see the first episode, but this one I loved - starting with Alice in Wonderland, moving through the Wind in the Willows, Winnie the Pooh, the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, to Edward Ardizzone, Quintin Blake and Raymond Briggs, it was enchanting.
Somehow the BBC has decided not to create a proper website, or the BBC's search facility is so poor that I can't find it. On the other hand, the first episode is available on iplayer for another couple of weeks.
And I am about to start looking through some boxes of my own to see if I can find the sketch Blake drew for me thirty years ago. And I might find my autograph book, too...
