John Yeoman (Author) John Yeoman was for many years Head of English at the French Lycee in London. His collaboration with Quentin Blake began in 1960, and has resulted in a long list of successful children's books of which a number of earlier well-loved titles are now being republished by Andersen Press for new generations of readers.Quentin Blake (Illustrator) Quentin Blake has been drawing ever since he can remember. He taught illustration for over twenty years at the Royal College of Art, of which he is an honorary professor. He has won many prizes, including the Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustration, the Eleanor Farjeon Award and the Kate Greenaway Medal, and in 1999 he was appointed the first Children's Laureate. In the 2013 New Year's Honours List he was knighted for services to illustration.
Reviews for The Heron and the Crane
The text has me chuckling every time and the illustrations by Quentin Blake are the perfect accompaniment.
Parents In Touch
Rather odd premise for a children's picture book, but somehow it manages to work . . . I like it better each time I read it!
Ruth Ng
TheBookbag.co.uk
A charming new book aimed at young children featuring the world famously brilliant illustrations of Quentin Blake.
Bury Free Press
John Yeoman and Quentin Blake are names on a book to guarantee something extra special and The Heron and the Crane is just that.
The School Librarian
There is an appeal (and certainly some moxie) to swapping the expected happy ending for this more ruminative approach.
