For the last few weeks I’ve been doing a retrospective of my picture books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Goblin and the Cupboard, my most recently  published book, was
actually written before any of the others. I wrote it for my son Ray
when he was still at playschool. It’s four interlinked stories about
crossovers between the ‘real’ world and the monster world, and a goblin
who lives between the two. There’s also a collection of short poems,
mostly about animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The illustrations are all new, black and white, done in charcoal, with a
bit of digital tittivation here and there. My favourites are the one
where Lucy finds herself in a cellar in the monster house; the one where
the monster writer and the ‘real world’ writer come face to face; and
the illustration to ‘A Cow Should Never Wear a Hat’, one of the poems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
