Zoe Greaves trained as an actress but her love of books took
over. She gave up acting to become a bookseller and write. Her
lyrical text perfectly complements Leslie’s detailed artwork.
Leslie Sadleir qualified as a graphic designer and worked in
publishing. She rediscovered her love of illustration when she
began to collaborate with her daughter Zoe.
The beautiful, finely detailed illustrations have an almost
photographic quality to them and it’s a case of the more you look,
the more you see: butterflies flitting among the poppies and
cornflowers in the meadow, and the frog and vole beside the
bulrushes for instance.
An unusual and fascinating book.
*Books for Keeps*
This delicate and beautiful book celebrates the natural history and
mythology of the hare. Hares are creatures of mystery and this
delightful book keeps that mystery alive. The use of an attractive
font and delicate illustrations that show off nature make for a
lovely book, ideal as a gift - the cloth binding and silver
embossed hare on the cover give us a lovely book. There are story
pages and factual information to help us understand this elegant
creature.
*Parents in Touch*
A magical book about a magical creature and beautifully illustrated
too.
