Author-artists Oliver Jeffers and Sam Winston's new picture book, The Dictionary Story, is no ordinary picture book. It's a glorious homage to the written word, with typography that comes alive on the page accompanied by beautiful illustrations depicting characters found in the dictionary, such as Ghost, Donut and Alligator.
“What a delight it has been working together again on a new book, exploring our shared love of words and the joy to be found in literature," says Oliver. "We’ve spent the last five years creating a new tale we are really happy with, a tale that playfully brings to life a dictionary in unexpected and magical ways. Many hours have been spent persuading our letters to dance alongside our pictures, and we are very excited that we will finally get to introduce some wonderful new characters to the world,” adds Sam.
