The Surprise in the Wardrobe Text by Val Willis Pictures by John Shelley (Andre Deutsch London, Farrar Straus Giroux New York 1990) |
In the sequel to The Secret in the Matchbox Bobby Bell takes a witch to school with resulting chaos in the dinner hall. As in the previous work I continued the pattern of detailed borders, though I was no longer limited by all the action occuring in a single room. |

"Alive with detail and action, Shelley's colorful illustrations are
surrounded by borders in which the figures cavort in vignettes of their own.
An adventure that richly repays close scrutiny" - Publishers Weekly
