Cupid & Psyche. Translated into English by J.H. Mason from the original Latin... Woodcuts by Vivien Gribble. Privately Printed by J.H. Mason, 1928/35 £220 Sm.folio, no.89 of 'about 130 copies'; pp.(2)41(4); 12 woodcut illustrations by Gribble; beautifully printed on heavy Batchelor's oak-leaf & acorn watermarked paper; a very good uncut copy in original marbled cloth, paper label; John Mason's essay on his father, 'J.H. Mason, The Imprint and the Cranach Press', from N.S.A.E. Journal, laid in. Mason's long colophon records the book's complex gestation, delayed by his work at the Central School and Cranach Press. 'Later he was further hindered by cataract in both eyes and loss of sight... Intended as an example of book printing for the love of the work, for the printer and his friends', only c40 copies were bound up and distributed on publication. The remaining 90 resurfaced in sheets in the 1950s and were bound up in various styles. A fine example of Gribble's very individual style; 'of uncompromisingly strong black line...with the same quality of frozen action of figures on a Greek vase, which gives them a certain tension.' Engraved in 1916, this work should have launched her artistic career, but by the time it appeared at the Arts & Crafts Society exhibition of Nov.1935, Vivien Gribble had succumbed to cancer.

    Children’s Literature in Education DOI 10.1007/s10583-016-9279-1 ORIGINAL PAPER ‘‘What is the Use of a Book Without Pictures?’’ An Exploration of the Impact of Illustrations on Reading Experience in A Monster Calls Jen Aggleton1 Ó The Author(s) 2016. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract This article examines the effect of Jim Kay’s illustrations on the experience of reading A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness. The author compares the responses of six Key Stage Three children (11–14 years old), three of whom were given an illustrated version of the text, and three a non-illustrated version. The children with an illustrated copy engaged with the text more deeply and critically than the others. They were also more likely to relate the story to their own lives. The illustrations were found to work alongside the participants’ own visualisations rather than replacing them, and opened up further possible interpretations rather than limiting them. The illustrations did not appear to have influenced the partici- pants’ overall enjoyment of the book, nor did they significantly alter the readers’ views on key themes and ideas of the text. Keywords Illustrations Á A Monster Calls Á Reading Experience Á Literacy Education In 2011, Walker Books published A Monster Calls, a young adult novel written by Patrick Ness, based on an original idea by Siobhan Dowd, who tragically died from cancer before being able to write the book herself. Dowd’s publishers asked Ness to fulfil the original concept, and commissioned Jim Kay to illustrate it.

    JOYCE HILL "THANNE LONGEN FOLK TO GOON ON PILGRIMAGES" (Chaucer: General Prologue to the Canterbury Tales, 1.12) They come, they come from all climates and nations of the world and even further away, French, Normans, Scots, Irish, Welsh, Teutons, Gascons, those from Navarre, Bas- ques, Provincials, Anglo-Saxons, Britons, those from Corn- wall, Flamands, Frisians, Italians, those from Poitiers, Danes, Norwegians, Russians, Sicilians, Asians, Indians, Cretans, Jerusalemers, Antiochans, Arabs, Moors, Lybians, and many others of all tongues, who come in companies or phalanxes and they all sing in unison to the Apostle. 1 The writer who was so impressed by the coming together of the nations to venerate the Apostle was describing the popularity, in the middle of the twelfth century, of the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compos- tela in Galicia to venerate the body of St. James the Great, one of the most important of the medieval pilgrimages, and one that can still be retraced by anyone interested in seeing for himself the nature of a journey that figures so prominently in medieval history and literature. According to a relatively late tradition of the seventh century based on a scribal error in an apocryphal list of St. James' mission-fields, 1 the Apostle had preached in Spain. Spanish scholars of the period, such as Isidore of Seville and Julian of Toledo, were either sceptical of the tradi- tion or ignorant of it, but it was pursued by an eighth century Spanish theologian from the Asturias, St. Beatus, and his energetic insistence that St. James preached in Spain and was the Spaniards' protector and patron undoubtedly paved the way for the mysterious discovery of the body round about the year 810, during the reign of Alfonso II, king of the Asturias from 791 - 842.
