When Cyril, Anthea, Robert and Jane find their old friend the Psammead in a pet shop in London, they have no idea that they are about to embark on their greatest escapade yet - chasing a magical Egyptian amulet that could grant them their hearts’ desires!
Once again, Ella has worked her own magic on this, the third thrilling E. Nesbit title she has illustrated for Alma Books, capturing beautifully the mysteries of Ancient Egypt in a bold cover bursting with wonder and intrigue and a series of adorable black and white vignettes that beautifully encapsulate the mood of each chapter.

In this, her 4th gorgeous title in the ‘My Very First Story Time’ series for Pat-a-Cake books, Sophie’s spellbinding artwork brings to life the classic characters of Snow White and her new dwarf friends giving them a subtle but distinctly Scandinavian twist! Proving that it's never too early to introduce children to the magic and wonder of fairy tales, a profusely illustrated visual glossary at the beginning introduces new vocabulary and promotes understanding whilst the lively activity populated with Sophie’s compelling little characters at the end invites discussion and will make even the very youngest children want to return to this romantic tale again and again!
Out on the 7th February - just in time for a cute Valentine’s gift for the child (or big soppy kid!) in your life!

Heinemann Publishing’s new Guided Reading Programme has already been wonderfully received by teachers and pupils alike, and, at the risk of being accused of blowing our own trumpet, we feel not in any small part due to our fabulous artists’ talent and creativity in bringing this diverse group of tales to life! This month we are thrilled to share with you Carol Liddiment’s comical take on the origin of the expression ‘sour grapes’! Fox has his eye on some juicy grapes but discovers that it is easier to say you don’t want something if you can’t have it! We can’t help but sympathise with Carol’s hapless and characterful fox as he runs the gamut of emotions in his quest for the elusive grapes!
Watch this space for more of our artists’ glorious work for this programme next month!

Following the successful publication of The Singing Stone, Chantelle & Burgen Thorne were asked by Jacana Media and Books and Books to take part in a book tour covering a total of over 600km travelling between schools across South Africa and their home in the hills!
With Burgen manning the fort to look after their their menagerie of pets, Chantelle got the lucky task to visit the schools and read the story to the pupils, followed by a short Q&A after. Chantelle was thrilled at the enthusiasm of the children for the story and their inquisitive nature as she described life as an illustrator, teaching them that you really can do this for a job! They hope to do another round of visits in the New Year, possibly including schools in Johannesburg and Pretoria as well!

"Lorraine and her agency are pretty much publishing royalty; The Organisation work with some of the very, very best illustration talents, and it’s always a thrill to be working with one of their stable They are on our ‘go-to' list for all new commissions.
Organisation agents without fail are a joy to deal with, and contribute so much more than simple deal-making."
STRAWBERRIE DONNELLY,
ART DIRECTOR
"I first came into contact with The Organisation when my wife worked with them for a number of years, enjoying many clients through them. I joined the agency in 2008, initially in collaboration with my wife, but now I work independently. The agency have not only worked hard ensuring a steady run of brilliant clients (Usborne, Little Tiger Press, Crocodile Creek) but are experts at negotiating fees and dealing with the specifics of a project. Approachable and understanding, I can rely on them to handle things, leaving me to focus on the artwork."
Gareth Lucas
Represented by The Organisation
"What I like best about the agency is that I feel valued and supported as an artist, being part of a very successful team of international illustrators, which has the perfect balance of size and talent. Working with an agent comes down to trust, fairness and respect, Lorraine and The Organisation have helped me to grow and develop as an illustrator, giving me 15 years of continuous and varied commissions.
They have help me to form working relationships with top clients, yet always attracting new commissions and projects, negotiating better fees and terms. It means a lot to know they have my back and are looking after my interests as an artist."
Richard Johnson
Represented by The Organisation
"Joining The Organisation was one of the best things to happen to me since I’ve started working as an illustrator. Since joining, I’ve had the chance to work on some wonderful projects that I wouldn’t have dreamt of before. I feel truly happy and thankful to be part of such a wonderful group of people."
Victoria Assanelli
Represented by The Organisation
"The wonderful team at The Organisation has given me great advice, confidence in myself and they have sent me amazing projects from awesome clients that I'm certain I would not have found otherwise, whilst taking care of all the boring stuff like negotiating and billing, of course. During the past eight years that we have been together, they have helped me grow as an artist and illustrator and I'm very thankful for this!"
Livia Coloji
Represented by The Organisation
"The Organisation agency is wonderful to work with. I never have to be worried about negotiating convenient fees with clients, fair schedules or remembering to promote my work. I only have to focus on what illustrators like the most: art! I let Lorraine to do all the rest."
