| 'The World is Round' is a mix of largely unpunctuated prose and poetry. The chapters are short with, for the most part, a single illustration for each one.
In 1966, Young Scott Books reissued 'The World Is Round'. This time the pages were white, the text was black, and the pink was reserved for the illustrations and title names. Clement Hurd took the opportunity to create new illustrations based on his originals. As he writes in the "About the Author and Artist": "Artists, in mature years, seldom have opportunity to reillustrate books they did at the start of their careers. In doing this edition of 'The World Is Round', Clement Hurd has chosen to use his original concepts. The result is a series of pictures that retain youthful exuberance enriched by growth in technical skill and perceptual insight." (from blogspot We Too Were Children, Mr Barrie) |
