But who could forget the rats?

[artofkelseywooley]

Been rereading some old childhood favorite, particularly the books of @RobinJarvis1963. After rereading some of the Deptford Mice series, felt like doodling some of the cast- First off, the siblings Audrey and Arthur Brown.

thanks previous post now i'm thinking about deptford mice/histories/whitby witches/tales from the wyrd museum

apparently the american versions of the books didn't have the illustrations? they were the best bit?

this book is for kids!

what if corn was cursed and u were a field mouse?

actually the best doomed romance was between a bat and a squirrel to stop all out war between their species also I THINK tHERE ARE TOO MANY HANDS ON THIS COVER ROBIN

listen i just like that he put some of his own books in the background of this picture, o robin u scamp, also doing dark magic in a bookshop is cool

back to deptford mice, yes this rat has a peeler strapped to his stump, its so he can better peel mice, innovative king

a teddy bear possessed by the spirit of an American pilot fleeing through london during the Blitz, pursued by a giant stag beetle demon with hitler's face

You see, this is why I don’t read books. Because once I’ve read them, I am TORTURED BECAUSE THERES NOWHERE I CAN PUT ALL THIS LOVE FOR THE DELICIOUS VILLAINOUS CHARACTERS.

i hope all y’all not in my discord server are grateful bc I just gave a play-by-play of Fleabee’s Fortune, a prequel to one of my favourite childhood books, The Dark Portal, which is one of the most delightfully fucked up books I have ever had the pleasure of reading. And the prequel was no different. Aimed at ages 6-10 :) 

I also ordered both sequels to TDP  and will start on the first shortly, as the last book has yet to arrive

They spoke of countless centuries of life; they were a deep green, and yet within that green were many greens. The green of new life burned brightly there but was flecked with the dull hues of graveyard mould: death is never far from life, the eyes told her.
