Fantasy doesn’t sell. Teenagers won’t buy books with pictures. This is what illustrator Chris Riddell and writer Paul Stewart were told in the 1990s. A million copies of the Edge chronicles later, they tell Ruth Prickett that their success rests on attention to detail – from architecture and economics to fashion and cartography In the beginning was a map. There aren’t many authors who would admit that their hugely successful series started with an illustration. But then there aren’t many partnerships that work like that of Chris Riddell and Paul Stewart, co-crea- tors of the phenomenally popular fantasy series the Edge chronicles. The story goes that in the mid-1990s Chris Rid- The dell, already a well-known children’s illustrator and newspaper cartoonist, came up with a map of the sur- real Edge world. He and Paul Stewart used this as the basis for their first collaboration, Beyond the Deep- woods. They showed it first to his publisher who was entertained, but dismissed it, telling them: “There’s no future in fantasy”. Stewart’s publisher, however, was more confident, and the Edge legends were born in 1998, the same year the second Harry Potter book was published, but before Harry Potter mania had every publisher reaching for his chequebook. Riddell provided the hundreds of intricate line edgedrawings that appear throughout the text, but his 14 ILLUSTRATION AUTUMN 2004 CHRIS RIDDELL input was not restricted to illustrating Stewart’s pre- conceived story.

  • BEFORE YOU START Prepare a Group Journal to Help You Record Group Discussions and Responses to the Text As You Work Through the Book
    BEFORE YOU START Prepare a group journal to help you record group discussions and responses to the text as you work through the book. These notes refer to the edition illustrated by Chris Riddell but can also be used with Dave McKean’s original illustrations, with some minor adjustments. You could create a glossary of new vocabulary as you read the book – you may want to prepare a format for doing this. As you go through the book, ask the group to pick out words they are unfamiliar with or do not fully understand, such as velvet, muzzle, vermin, raggedy, embroidery, vivid, monstrous, anteroom, shovelled, commercials and rummaged. You could prepare photographs and video sources to bring these words to life and help the pupils use them in context. © Bloomsbury SESSION 1: CHAPTER 1 Focus: Predicting, Close Reading, Thinking Aloud and Summarising Share the front cover with the group. (Do not share the back cover at this point as it reveals some aspects of the plot you may wish to hold back while the children make predictions.) Ask the children to predict what the story could be about. Ask them to justify their responses, drawing out any connections they make to other stories. Record the children’s responses in the journal. Once you have recorded their predictions you can return to these as you read the book, comparing the children’s initial thoughts to how the story actually unfolds. –––––– © Bloomsbury Encourage the children to look in detail at the cover illustration and make connections between this text and other stories they know.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Muddle Earth (Muddle Earth #1-#3) by Paul Stewart Muddle Earth (Muddle Earth #1-#3) by Paul Stewart. TV TOONS animated series TOON MAKERS animation studios & people. COMICS characters, strips & comic books. TOON GODS British animators & illustrators. "Come to a world of great wonder and merriment, Borne out of magic, its' name Muddle Earth . " You'll find monsters and mayhem and more in this animated series based upon Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell's bestselling fantasy book. Muddle Earth is a twisted version of Tolkein's Middle Earth, from "Lord of the Rings", and it's inhabited by a host of daft wizards, trolls, faeries, dragons and characters that have become a staple of the High Fantasy genre. Thus we have Randalf the defuddled Wizard and his young asistant Newt, Horned Baron Smink and his Head Gardener-turned-Manservant Benson, a friendly troll-being known as Not-Very-Big Norbert (who really is quite big), and so on. Ruling over this daft domain is the evil blue teddy bear that is - gulp - Dr. Cuddles. The original book featured one singular story told in three parts, in keeping with its Tolkeinesque parody. It tells of an ordinary boy called Joe, who is summoned to Muddle Earth to become a warrior-hero, whereupon his adventures bring him into contact with the denizens of this magical realm. But this animated series dismisses Joe and his quest, and instead tells singular, standalone, Muddle Earth stories, usually with Randalf the Wizard, Newt and Norbert at the heart of them. Tim Harper and Vincent James (Philbert Frog ) were drafted in to direct, with Phil Chalk producing.

  • Teachers' Guide to Fortunately, the Milk . . . By
    TEACHERS’ GUIDE TO FORTUNATELY, THE MILK . BY NEIL GAIMAN & CHRIS RIDDELL Synopsis A brilliantly bonkers illustrated adventure about what happens (or what Dad says happens) when Mum is away at a conference (presenting a paper on lizards) and Dad is left in charge. Unfortunately, there’s no milk for breakfast, so Dad goes to the corner shop to buy some while his children wait at home. When he eventually returns with the milk, after being away for ‘ages and ages’, he explains why it took him so long . On leaving the shop, Dad is sucked into a huge silver disc occupied by globby green aliens who want to take over Earth. Inside the disc, he opens a door and lets in the space-time continuum, which causes him to fall into the eighteenth century, where he finds himself aboard a pirate ship. He turns down the Pirate Queen’s invitation for him to join their piratical adventures, and instead walks the plank, because that’s where people are usually rescued. Fortunately, this proves to be true when Professor Steg (a time- travelling Stegosaurus) rescues him in her hot-air balloon. After pressing a big, red button in the balloon, Dad and Professor Steg find themselves a thousand years back in time, in a jungle inhabited by volcano-god worshippers. After escaping the wrath of Splod (the volcano god) and then losing and finding the all-important milk, Dad and Professor Steg encounter some scary wumpires. To escape them, Dad presses the big, red button, which takes them back to the aliens.
