METHUEN

Ever wonder what your cat does when he ventures out at night? Chases mice in the garden? Climbs the nearest tree? Not this cat. He has a myriad of destinations. By night he zips around town on his scooter. He attends the Cat Academy, where he is enrolled in fashion design, woodworking, and mechanics. Then he pops in to see Jean-Pierre the barber to have his whiskers trimmed. He may even have a date for the movies or with feline friends at the dog track. But no matter where his adventures take him, he always returns just in time to wake his owner. Here is another quirky tale by Bruce Ingman, author and illustrator of When Martha's Away and Lost Property. Ingman's bold, inventive artwork is perfectly suited to this clever tale of a cat's night on the town and is guaranteed to give children fits of the giggles.

Literature & Fiction

By the time Dutch artist Dick Bruna retired, he was an international star, far beyond the sphere of children's books, and his creation, Miffy, had become a global sensation, translated into more than 50 languages. Fellow illustrator Bruce Ingman takes readers behind the scenes of the work of Dick Bruna, who created some of the world's most endearing children's characters. Offering a deeper appreciation of the artistry and skill behind the international icon Miffy, also reveals Bruna's lesser- known works, including his striking book and poster designs.Inspired by Fernand Léger and Henri Matisse, Bruna's clearly defined use of line, color, and text, confirmed that for him, the illustration and book design processes were inseparable. Ingman shows us how the elegant simplicity of Bruna's illustrations appeals to children, artists, and designers alike, and how he gained devoted fans across ages and artistic disciplines.With an illustrator's insight, this book celebrates Bruna along with his influences. A glimpse into his studio reveals a man of many media, including drawing, painting, collage, and photography. All the elements of Bruna's extensive body of work, spanning book covers, posters, stamps, and merchandise, are given space in this illuminating study of his stunningly successful career.

When Martha's Away

Walker Books

Inspired by the life of the founder of the now famous Tate art galleries, Henry Tate is a sweet tale about one man's passion for making art available to as many people as possible. We follow the story of Henry Tate on his journey from green grocer to philanthropist who, before the turn of the twentieth century, made the pioneering move to share his entire collection of paintings with the British public. Incorporating illustrations of artworks from Tate's ever-evolving collection, award-winning illustrator and author Bruce Ingman brings to life one of Britain's lesser-known historical figures. The book is a delightful celebration of a legacy far greater than Henry Tate himself ever could have imagined.
