William Joyce writes and illustrates children's books in which retro-futurist machines, fairy-tale figures and richly designed worlds often carry as much story as the text. George Shrinks follows a boy who wakes only a few inches tall and must complete ordinary household tasks at a radically different scale, while The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore turns books themselves into living companions. The Guardians of Childhood series reimagines figures such as Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy as members of a shared fantasy mythology. Joyce's work is visual, adventurous and often playful with scale and invention. It fits illustrated picture books, children's fantasy and imaginative adventure for younger readers. Read more Less
