Ardizzone - First Comprehensive Bibliography
Our recently published title, “Edward Ardizzone: A Bibliographic
Commentary” by Brian Alderson describes for the first time in a
full-scale bibliography Ardizzone's books, dust-jackets, commercial work and
ephemera, with notes on his periodical contributions, war art, prints, posters
and bookplates. Appendices reprint articles by Ardizzone himself and detail the
history of two favorite titles – “Peacock Pie” and
“Peter Pan” - and reproduce Gabriel White's memorial tribute to the
artist. It includes a four-page color section. This is an invaluable
reference for anyone interested in book illustration or children’s
literature. Get it today!

Edward Ardizzone (1900 – 1979) was one of the most beloved
illustrators and authors in the English –speaking word. Calling to mind
Hogarth, Rowlandson, Cruikshank and Daumier, Ardizzone's style has its roots
firmly in the traditions of the 18th and 19th centuries; his work spans the
greater part of the 20th century; illustrating (and often writing) over 200
books and pamphlets. Perhaps often thought of as the author of the
“Tim” series of Children’s Books, he wrote 5 for adults and
illustrated over 150 for other authors, including many of the classics by
Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Robert Louis Stevenson, Dylan Thomas and others.
One of his best known paintings, ‘Magic Carpet,’ was chosen by
UNICEF for a collection of international Christmas cards.
