Illustrated by
Louis Darling.
The original illustrations by the incomparable Louis Darling are back in six reissued titles, each with a foreword by a contemporary children's book creator. In his foreword to Henry and the Paper Route, Jeff Kinney notes that Darling's illustrations helped "cement...their status as modern classics." Marla Frazee, in Henry and Beezus, calls Darling's "uncanny ability to draw the human form with such accuracy, fluidity, and charm" unparalleled. Review covers these titles: Henry and Beezus, Henry and Ribsy, Henry and the Clubhouse, Henry and the Paper Route, Henry Huggins, and Ribsy.
