Jan Pieńkowski

    8 de agosto de 1936 – 19 de febrero de 2022

    Jan Pieńkowski fue un autor e ilustrador de libros infantiles nacido en Polonia y afincado en Gran Bretaña. Su obra se caracteriza por el uso de colores llamativos y formas dramáticas que dan vida a las historias para los lectores jóvenes. Alcanzó fama particular por sus libros pop-up, que emplean intrincados mecanismos para crear cautivadoras escenas tridimensionales. El enfoque de Pieńkowski hacia la ilustración a menudo combina una sensibilidad teatral con una estética visual lúdica, ofreciendo a los lectores una experiencia única e inmersiva.

    • Meg and Mog is the first in the long-standing series about a witch (Meg) and her cat (Mog). Meg is a cute well-meaning witch who lives with Mog and her owl. In Meg and Mog, we are introduced to a witch wardrobe and a witch's breakfast. Later Meg flies off to meet her witch friends for some spell-making at a Halloween Party. Unfortunately the spell does not go exactly to plan... The illustration is simple and with very bold, deep colours. Designed specifically to appeal to very young children, Meg and Mog has short simple sentences on each page, allowing the illustration to play an important part in the storytelling. If you enjoy the first Meg and Mog, enjoy more adventures in Meg on the Moon and Mog at the Zoo. (Ages 1 to 3 years.) --Victoria MacKenzie

      " The cat sat on the mat. Lots of cats do that, everybody knows. And nothing strange comes of it. But once a cat sat on a mat and something strange did come of it. In Joan Aiken s classic story collection, the strange often happens, and with fantastic consequences... Characters spring out of their books and chase around the room, cats grow bigger than elephants, and houses on legs lay eggs. Buses live on clouds, patchwork quilts become flying carpets, and pies float away when they have a corner of sky baked into them The magical meets the everyday in these much-loved modern fairytales, now in a beautiful new edition with Jan Pienkowski s original silhouette illustrations."
