The Birds who Flew Beyond Time

Amazing kids' book illustrations by Thetis Blacker for The Birds who Flew Beyond Time by Anne Baring, found at the International Children's Digital Library. I can't find much else on Blacker, but her paintings were comissioned for and shown in cathedrals, she originally intended to be an opera singer, and she died in 2006.

    James, a great find! I especially love the bird fourth from the top. I feel your frustration in finding these great artists and then being able to learn nothing about them.

    Thanks also for your kind words about AJRMS. It is damn time-consuming, but still fun for now.

    Yours in excavation,
    Will

    Cheers Will, AJRMS is (along with Bibliodyssey) for me the first stop in image-hunting. Well worth the effort.

    Stopping back here I'm surprised to see my comments - surprised because I don't own this book yet. A must-buy if I ever did see one! Thanks again, will keep trying to send folks your way.
