Wonderlands -The Illustration Art of Robert Ingpen

Wonderlands is a glorious celebration of Robert Ingpen’s work as an illustrator and storyteller, told through his own illustrator’s notes, original sketches and abundant illustrations from his award-winning publications-and revealing the places, stories and people that inspired him along the way.

Robert Ingpen was born in 1936 in Geelong, Australia, and still lives and works nearby in Barwon Heads. He studied illustration art and book design at The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. In 1986 he was awarded the Hans Christian Andersen Medal for his contribution to children’s literature and he has been honoured with Membership of the Order of Australia. A world-renowned artist and author, Ingpen has designed, illustrated and written more than one hundred books, including his highly acclaimed series of illustrated Children’s Classics, which have now been published in many editions around the world.
