Anyway, art is always going to be subjective. The critics can use big words 'til they're blue in the face, and you can appreciate all sorts of art for its skill, or innovation, or social aspects, but in the end it always just comes down to loving what we love!Anne E.G.

But there are some wonderful illustrations from the past, whether it’s 19th century novels or 20th century children’s book art. Even the Ladybird books are just beginning to be appreciated now. I used to read and love the How And Why Wonder Books as a child. Their illoes would probably not be considered amazing art now, and yet... One of my books, Rolling Right Along, a history of the wheel, was illustrated very much like a How And Why book and it was very special to me!
