![]() | The table below lists my own Keyword collection. All books were written / edited by W Murray but illustrated by the indicated artists. Although divided into 3 subsets, close scrutiny of the end-papers and on the backs suggests other groupings. However, for the purposes of my project, I am interested in completing the list of illustrators, so any information is welcome. One may remember the workbooks, friezes and flashcards. SF purists however prefer an easy life. |
