In celebration of Australian Robert Ingpen's 75th birthday we’re delighted to make him our Illustrator of the Month. Robert is one of the most prolific illustrators around and we have featured many of his titles on the site including his absolutely fabulous series of illustrated classics.
Most recently, these have included The Robert Ingpen Illustrated Classics Collection, a slipcase set of three of the best-loved children's titles - Treasure Island, The Wind in the Willows and The Jungle Book in celebration of Ingpen's 75th, Around the World in 80 Days, The Night Before Christmas (hint, hint!) and The Wizard of Oz in which all of your favourite Oz characters and Dorothy herself are given new life by this award-winning illustrator. He is perhaps most famous for his centenary illustrations of The Wind in The Willows and Peter Pan and Wendy.
Templar has always been pre-eminent in the production of absolutely top quality books and this range of Classics in association with Palazzo is absolutely no exception, each one complete with stunning illustrations by this award-winning and influential illustrator. Each book is a gift to treasure and the series as a whole is a wondrous collection of timeless classics.
There are special anniversary bookmarks celebrating Robert Ingpen's 75th birthday to be given away. Email marketing@templarco.co.uk to request one.
