CRITICAL CRITTERS

WHEN Ralph Steadman accidentally knocked his inky water on to a sheet of paper, Ceri Levy thought he could see the outlines of a fish emerging on the page: this was the beginning of the technique the duo called ‘Ralphschach’. In the third book in the trilogy focusing on extinct and endangered animals, Steadman illustrates the neglected creatures beautifully using Ralphschach, while Levy documents the process. A brilliant book that will satisfy conservationists and art-lovers alike.
