"Winnie Flies Again" By Korky Paul And Valerie Thomas (published by Oxford University Press 1999) - Part 2

 Another one of Korky Paul's zany books - and I've got quite a few! The plot is simple enough: Winnie the witch is losing her grip when riding her broom and bumps into various things with terrifying results. And while in despair, trying to figure out what's going wrong with her broom she runs into an optician! Check out the pirate below testing out a new pair of glasses and the eccentric optician herself below that. Great characters and a very funny story. Every page is full of "visual" jokes, many embedded in the fine details of the artist's amazing illustrations.

"Dinner With Fox" By Stephen Wyllie, Pictures By Korky Paul (published by Tango Books, UK, 1995), Part 2

 

A very, very funny book, but grim too as there are quite a few casualties in order to perfect this dinner! A fox has to think creatively when he realises that he has no food left in his kitchen cupboards - so he invites neighbours to join him for dinner...

Vintage Korky Paul(born 1951) illustrations beautifully executed and packed with visual jokes and amazing details. I have several of his books, including his more famous "Winnie The Witch", "The Cat That Scratched", "The Rascally Cake" and "The Duck That Had No Luck". Unfortunately I managed to lose my favourite of his, "The Dog That Dug" some ten years ago but I will eventually buy it again! Here is the link to his own website: http://www.korkypaul.com/index.html for his biography and a long list of published books. And this is a small article on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korky_Paul
