Rohan's distinct style of illustration brings the story to life with images of pirates, parrots and much more ...jumping out of the pages.

Rohan tells us a bit more about the book,

"It has allowed me to explore a new process and add full colour to my repertoire, using heritage coloured naturally pigmented inks to create a strong and vibrant dimension to my black and white drawings. The author Metin asked me to create works that would punctuate a nightly reading of the book to his children, something to dream of, and inspire, hopefully I've done just that."
