4.0
I grew up with the illustrations of Quentin Blake as they occupied many of the books that I read, in particular the ones by Roald Dahl.
This book is a flavour of some of the projects that he has worked on from the books, to posters for art exhibitions, art for hospitals and maternity wings and other odd projects.
Being a large format book, he has filled it with his art, from the surreal and the ethereal, to the more common pictures of children it makes you aware of the scope of his talent. Each pictures if full of life, and the dynamics and movement that he conveys is something special. The text is a little flat, but that isn't the reason that you read this book.
