"Blake is beyond brilliant . . . I've never met a child who doesn't love Quentin Blake" - Daily Telegraph

Quentin Blake is one of Britain's best-loved and most successful author-illustrators, and was made the first Children's Laureate in 1999. He has won the Whitbread Award, the Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustration, and the Kate Greenaway Medal. among others.



All children love to act out imaginary situations in the games they play. A 'Let's Pretend' par excellence, (one of which imaginative adults take part). This is a new aspect of Quentin Blake who is invariably unpredictable in his creativity.

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.
