What if you could step inside the book?
Not just imagine Green Gables, but look through its rooms. Not just remember Neverland, but pore over its map. In At Home in a Book, Lauren O’Hara’s intricate cutaway illustrations let you explore the places, characters and tiny details of nine classic stories, as though you could walk right into the pages.
O’Hara has illustrated books by Sophie Dahl and Vivian French and worked with the Royal Opera House. She collaborated with her sister Natalia on The Bandit Queen and Hortense and the Shadow, and has twice been nominated for the CILIP Kate Greenaway Award. Her book Madame Badobedah, with author Sophie Dahl, was the Guardian’s Book of the Year; her book Frindleswylde, with Natalia O’Hara, was awarded the Children’s Books Ireland Illustration Honour award. Here, Lauren’s illustrations offer young readers a way into the classics and longtime readers plenty to discover again.
