I did think some of the illustrations — this one in particular — were a bit creepy!pete9012S wrote:![]()
I have that Purnell Sunshine Library book - Happy Adventure Tales. It's a particularly good volume as it's full of mini adventure stories. 'The Prisoner in the Cave' is a favourite of mine and I didn't guess the ending the first time I read it. Last time we mentioned it, Nigel asked if the prisoner was Tony!Rob Houghton wrote:That's one I have in the Holiday book and also the Purnell version.
Yes, I thought the same - in fact I almost wrote above that the illustrator was 'LEO' who illustrated The Troublesome Three, and then I corrected my post, as I looked up the illustrator and saw it 'wasn't' LEO after all...but maybe it was. Perhaps the 'L' in the initials was 'Leo'.Anita Bensoussane wrote: I rather like the bold, eye-catching illustrations (scanned by Pete from the Holiday Books) for this story and 'It Happened One Afternoon'. They remind me of the illustrations by Leo for The Troublesome Three. I actually wonder if A. L. Mazure sometimes used the name "Leo", as the style is remarkably similar?
