Martha B. Rabbit

- This book is the reason I first became interested in illustration. 
-Martha B Rabbit is a cook, who after being broken into, seeks to find work to keep her going over the Winter. 
-She becomes the cook for the fairies and makes a friend in the kitten, who go on to cook together once the winter is over. 
-It is a warm and caring tale, Barber has written a children's book yet there is an air of maturity about it, as well as the good old fashion morals and manners thrown in for good measure. Each page is illustrated delicately and with huge amount of attention to detail. The characters are lovable and the fairies themselves are beautiful. 
-This is a great book to re read in the Winter time and always makes you have a little glow inside. 
-Anyone who comes across this book would love it.
