Strange experience today. Found myself at the Forum in Norwich a day late for the artist's book fair 'turn the page'. Very disappointed. When I had recovered my equilibrium I noticed that the library was open and had a large children's section.
So I spent the afternoon happily perusing children's picture books.
My favourites were both by Helen Stephens: 'Fleabag' and 'How to Hide a Lion'.
Also had a brief look at '1000 Years of the Art of Japanese Books' at the Brunei Gallery and have promised myself I'll go back for another look as I didn't have time to do it justice. Here is a link to the information.

Both beautiful, warm, happy stories with delicious illustrations.
While I am on the subject of 'things I love', I saw a great exhibition at The Wellcome Collection recently: 'Souzou - Outsider Art From Japan'. Here's a short video about it. I found it very inspiring and moving, especially watching videos of the artists at work.
