#PhantomsFriday Another interior illustration by Stephen Fabian for the 1977 Underwood-Miller reprint of The Eyes of the Overworld (1966) by Jack Vance. This image is from a book that collects his art. In this scene, a ghostly city and ship full of ghost revelers appeared, then disappeared.

Illustration of the day from The Kingdom of Broken Magic by Christine Aziz— a tale of about a sinister monkey who rules the Kingdom of Broken Magic, a knitting elephant and dancing tigers! #KidLitUK #Illustrations #artist #animalTales

It's about the stories that books create in our heads and children being asked to share those stories both at the time of reading and post reading. Children love stories, discussing them, even acting them out. As adults we also all share and discuss stories every day - we call it news or gossip.
