Delightfully simple but visually impish

Anthony Browne is a sublime master of the visual pun

—— Independent on Sunday

The Magritte of the pre-schoolers, Browne's illustrations are among the most distinctive and surreal of any children's artist. A beautiful tribute to a very special dad in a dressing gown
