![]() ![]() This totally takes over the whole house and soon Ernie ropes his nephew and wife in to help with the labour. When Uncle Ernie gets made redundant he sets up a fish-canning factory in their home. It tells the tale ( or fishtail!) of orphan, Stanley Potts, who lives with his aunt and uncle. The illustrations are flawless and the story almost lives up to them. This artwork continues on the inside in the form of black and white images with Jeffers’ font in chapter headings and occasional passages of text. ![]() The first thing I would say is that it is a very beautifully produced book with a stunning cover by Jeffers, featuring his trademark mixed media style of illustration and unique font. As a fan of both writer David Almond and illustrator Oliver Jeffers, I couldn’t turn down the opportunity to review this title. ![]()
