For some months last year I worked on this wonderful new book that Penguin approached me to illustrate. It's not often I get to collaborate with a literary genius, or someone who is dead, or someone so well moustached - and Rudyard is all three. It was such fun re-visiting and re-imagining these stories that I was so familiar with as a child. The end result landed on my desk this morning, and I'm thrilled with it.
