1. Great illustrations! Did you do them or the rewrite?

2. The rewrite. The illustrator is from the UK.

Chris Dunn: https://www.chris-dunn.co.uk/

He did the illustrations for another book I did: https://www.amazon.com/Paisley-Treehouse-Contest-Stephen-Richardson/dp/1736456512/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2QN87CANFW7RI&keywords=paisley+rabbit+and+the+treehouse+contest&qid=1637467025&qsid=145-3952160-2196665&sprefix=paisley+rabbit%2Cstripbooks%2C231&sr=8-1&sres=1736456512%2CB079NH9LDV%2C1736456504%2C0978642244%2CB07PX3WW5N%2C1659203864%2CB083JZRCSS%2CB009AW5HMU%2CB08STDBZ5G%2CB074JLL5KS%2CB0858DCC6P%2CB01IRM5U84%2CB08LQ3WK2N%2CB08NFC2GSR%2CB07XG6VSFM%2CB09GP5G46N&srpt=ABIS_BOOK

3. He's my idea of an illustrator! I wish I had a grandchild to give

your books. Looks like they would be wonderful Christmas gifts.

Did he ever illustrate for Brian Jacques on his 'Redwall' series?

4. Not yet. My book Paisley Rabbit was his first book

He was only doing gallery work until I approached him after seeing some of his work on a Facebook page. He has now done a lot of Wind In The Willows stuff though for several publishers. I want to do an animal version of A Christmas Carol with him.

I believe another illustrator I have worked with has done a bit of Redwall. Larry MacDougall: http://mythwood.blogspot.com/2011/03/mice.html

He did Gwelf which is a lot like Redwall:

5. 'Wind in the Willows' is my favorite childhood book. I guess fantasy

worlds with animal characters are my thing. I owned 16 books of the Redwall series until I sold my estate last year. I kept my copy of 'Wind in the Willows'.

6. That looks WONDERFUL!

I may have to order for my baby great niece.



So much talent on DU!
