Award-winning illustrator William Grill brings us a detailed visual narrative of Shackleton's journey to Antarctica.
William Grill is a Bristol based illustrator whose main interest lies in narrative illustration and publishing. He draws most of his inspiration from the natural world, and enjoys working in coloured pencils and relief printmaking; his first book, the best-selling Shackleton's Journey won the 2015 Kate Greenaway award and has been translated into over 14 languages. As well as running art clubs, William has given workshops at The Design Museum, Southbank Centre, schools and universities.
A book every house should have.
*The Guardian*
Informative text is combined with a wealth of detailed
coloured-pencil drawings in Gill's distinctive style, which create
a strong sense of atmosphere. Each page layout is beautifully
designed, making clever use of white space that itself seems to
evoke the bleak, frozen wastelands of the Antarctic landscape.
*BookTrust*
Mr. Grill's manner of illustration lends itself beautifully to the
juxtaposition of early-20th-century human ingenuity and the raw,
indifferent power of nature.
