This lovely image by the wonderful Loris Lora graces the brand-new playful pups puzzle for Crocodile Creek Toys. The charm and warmth of Loris’ images are loved by children worldwide. If you look carefully you can see Loris’ own dog, Harold the border collie – famous at last!

Owen Freeman has a wonderful way of creating cinematic drama and his work carries a narrative with ease.  This brand-new, powerful image is one of five created for Wired this month.

Astonishingly beautiful wrap-around artwork from the inimitable Kuri Huang for Kyle Lee Baker’s, The Scarlet Alchemist.  Commissioned by Fairyloot for Hodderscape’s edition, the sumptuous golds and browns echo the warmth and magic of the text whilst the intricate patterns perfectly suit the entangled vagaries of the story. Now, that’s alchemy…

An exquisite new edition of the dark and powerful novel, Beloved by Toni Morrison. The pairing of The Folio Society‘s elegant styling alongside Joe Morse’s commanding illustration work makes this a striking addition to any bookshelf.
