Description

Ralph Steadman has written and illustrated many children’s books during his 70 year career. This image is from his imagined Mouseworld collection of which there are 3 books, Inspector Mouse, Emergency Mouse and Quasimodo Mouse. This is from the latter. The books follow the adventures of mouse characters in a rich and varied universe. Quasimodo Mouse has nods to French Impressionism, Gothic Horror and your classic love story. Quasimodo and his friend, Toothy Mouse, have embarked on a journey across France, riding a tandem, to reach the sea. Here we see a waiter, at an inn along the way, dressed as a ghost as he wants to steal their socks! He is in the wrong room of course! The simple humour has a charm and an innocence that you might not expect from a Ralph Steadman artwork. Happy Halloween! The book was published in 1984 by Andersen Press Ink on paper, 1983 6497 by 4576 png
