An accomplished artist as well as a writer, Joyce Lankester Brisley designed posters and book jackets and also illustrated the work of other authors. She died in 1978, but Milly-Molly-Mandy's popularity lives on.
each story is a miniature masterpiece, as clear, warm and precise
as the illustrations by the author that accompanied them, crafted
by a mind that understood the importance of comfort reading

world where that sort of thing seems somewhat hard to find, they
shine. They really, really do.
