Quentin Blake: Inside Stories

Quentin Blake’s free- !owing, vibrant and expressive sketches have brought to life some of Britain’s most celebrated children’s books, from the charming mischief of Roald Dahl’s The BFG and James and the Giant Peach, to modern classics by comedian David Walliams. Visit Compton Verney this autumn to explore over 140 of Blake’s original drawings and storyboards.
