Clare Melinsky
The text is illustrated with twelve beautiful linocuts by Clare Melinsky reflecting the topics and places in the letters. All are printed from the linoleum blocks.
Clare Melinsky was born in 1953, and grew up in Norwich; she studied at the Central School of Art in London, and moved towards illustration by way of theatre design and fabric printing. She has worked for Radio Times and the Telegraph and Sunday Times, and during 2004-5 has designed the covers for Penguin Books’ complete edition of Shakespeare’s Plays. She lives and works in the Dumfriesshire countryside in Scotland.
