Quentin Blake / Roald Dahl
The Illustrations
This exhibition features the 19 books that Roald Dahl and Quentin Blake have collaborated on, including some whose publication pre-dates their partnership, and for which Blake provided illustrations only after Roald Dahl's death in 1990. This exhibition coincides with the inaugural Roald Dahl Day on 13 September, which would have been the great man's 90th birthday. In honour of this, Quentin Blake has done two new drawings especially for this exhibition.
