“Chris Wormell works by making wood engravings, then bringing them to life in rich colour. You can see examples online of how his sketches led to final wood engravings, and there’s a lovely interview with Wormell explaining his process on In The Reading Corner.

The illustrations are full colour; the edition is roughly A4, with two columns of text to a page.” Read more...
