Three generations have grown up with the work of Dick Bruna. What is it that makes his work so powerful and loved? The authors of this book summarize it as follows: 'And with that we hit the core: the gong of Matisse, the punch of Cassandre and the humanity of Bruna.' Award-awarded writer and illustrator Bruce Ingman looks at the life and work of Dick Bruna with an international perspective. Ingman is also head of the Master's program Children's Book Illustration at Goldsmiths, University of London. Ramona Reihill has worked as a children's book editor for many years, including at the English publisher of the Miffy books. Together they wrote a book that covers all facets of Dick Bruna's life and work. Using unique material from Bruna's private archive, it sheds new light on a life that was all about art, from his acclaimed designs for posters and book covers to his beloved creation Miffy.
