Cover Story
This month BfK features Jane Ray’s cover for The Twelve Dancing Princesses. We’re particularly delighted to have the opportunity to use this illustration as it enables us to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Orchard Books - they’re 10 this year! And also to thank them for their help in producing our July cover.
Tango's Baby
You need something like superman's skills to survive the run-down estate that is 'The Loop'. When you're a soft 'Big Man', like Brian Tangello, and you've made an under-age girl pregnant, you need skills and friends aplenty just to stay ahead of the pack, especially to parent your own child. The characters Waddell creates and the identifiable style of Chris, the narrator, plus an amazing empathy for the predicament of Tango and Crystal makes this a very important read that screams out for promotion.
