He can be nasty and nice; weak and strong and sensible and silly - ALL at the same time! And when you really need him most - he's nowhere to be found . . . " Blake is beyond brilliant . . . I've never met a child who doesn't love Quentin Blake" - Daily Telegraph Quentin Blake is one of Britain's best-loved and most successful author-illustrators, and was made the first Children's Laureate in 1999.
