Arthur Rackham

In this fascinating book, art historian James Hamilton examines the work and life of the illustrator Arthur Rackham. Rackham's illustrations for works such as Rip Van Winkle, Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, Alice in Wonderland and A Midsummer Night's Dream have attained the classic status of the writings themselves — indeed, in some cases they have become synonymous with them. Rackham himself, however, has previously remained a shadowy figure. As well as featuring exquisite illustrations and sketches, extracts from Rackham's correspondence and insightful commentary from James Hamilton shed new light on this much collected illustrator.

The world of fashion illustration has had a sensational renaissance in the last 5 years, but the art form goes back to the beginning of the 20th century and today's exponents are still benefiting from some of the styles, shapes and colours of fashion illustrators from decades ago. Whether they work with traditional pencils, crayons and watercolours or with a digital pen, fashion illustrators today will find inspiration from these 200 images. This volume collates the best fashion illustration that was captured in the pages of the iconic Harper's Bazaar magazine from the 1920s to 1970. The publication has been at the forefront of fashion since the 19th century and it is no surprise that it published the best work in this art form. From the mannered shapes of Leon Benigni of the 1930s to the looser outlines of the late 1960s, the book is a beautiful resource for all illustrators.

This is a much-needed book on simple and more advanced ways of creating pattern with a source of 2000 colourful combinations that you can use for further creative work. The simplest pattern is a repeat of a motif. You can make that more interesting by creating a brickwork grid when repeating motifs. Make it different again by rotating the image, or by mirroring it. Taking the reader through various pattern developments thoroughly, it shows how one motif can lead to inexhaustible pattern interpretations. All these techniques are explained and illustrated, making the book an ideal way of learning about pattern design basics as well as finding an inspirational pattern. The author gives a range of different designs, from simple florals, motifs taken from historical treasures, tiling designs, abstracts — from a blob of colour to geometrics, pictorial motifs (from animals to buildings), and creates thousands of different patterns. This is a visually rich book that has application for any kind of designer, whether working on fabric, the web or the world of graphics.

London, the capital and heart of Britain, is an exciting and constantly developing city. London Then and Now explores London's landscape, past and present, through the eye of the camera. Some 70 historic photographs of London's past are paired with specially commissioned contemporary views taken from the same vantage point. In spite of wartime damage and postwar planning, so many of the buildings that characterise London still remain. The book features the fascinating vistas of London that have changed little and some that have changed radically, from the regeneration of the south bank, the docklands in the east to the transformation of a power station into Tate Modern. Part of the bestselling 'Then and Now' series, this charming contrast of old and new photographs highlights the stunning changes — and the equally amazing similarities — of one of the most loved cities in Britain, its well-known places but also some of the hidden gems.

Painstakingly researched and tapping in to the public's insatiable general interest with the written word, Wrotten English contains curious opening lines, fantastic fictions whose titles are too terrible to be true and some of the most suggestive double entendres committed by those who really should know better!

Botanical Sketchbook

A sketchbook can be many things: to some it is a record of a landscape or people in a cafe prior to painting them; to others it is a visual memory of a traveller's journey, more personal than the image captured by a camera. In this case, it is a beautiful record of one woman's development into a successful botanical artist and should be an inspiration to all those who chance upon it. As part of the Distance Learning Course run by the Society of Botanical Artists, students are required to keep a sketchbook. The one kept by Mary Ann Scott is exceptional. Her book covers the exercises, colour charts and basic preparatory work for each assignment, plus the finished studies ranging from a vignette of alpine flowers to glowing exotic fruit. It is a masterclass for all aspiring botanical artists.

Following on from the bestselling Strangest title London's Strangest Tales comes Kent's Strangest Tales — a book devoted to the weird and wonderful side of the home county many people believe is the 'The Garden of England'. Located on the bottom of the Old Man of England's bottom, Kent is a county with more strangeness than you can shake a strange-shaped stick at. Home to historically-rich towns such as Canterbury, Rochester, Maidstone and Ramsgate, Kent can lay claim to some very strange goings-on indeed. From Chaucer's legendary tales of debauchery and naughtiness to Mick and Keef's very first meeting on a rocking 'n' rolling Dartford train. Kent has it all — coast, ghosts, castles, treasures, pirates, Britain's oldest highway and, lest could we forget, the old lady who tricked the Luftwaffe. Kent's Strangest Tales is a treasure trove of the hilarious, the odd and the baffling — an alternative travel guide to some of the county's best-kept secrets that date back many thousands of years. Read on, if you dare! You have been warned.
