Post subject: Happy 75th, James Watling! (British-Canadian illustrator,
Archived from groups: rec>arts>books>childrens (more info?)

Born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, he immigrated to Canada (as an
adult?) and now lives in Rawdon, Quebec.

McGovern's elementary-level book "Christopher Columbus" was
illustrated by Joe Lasker in the early 1960s, but Watling illustrated
it in gorgeous color in 1999.

Unfortunately, the only way to show a simple list of covers and titles
(most likely not complete) is through Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&search-type=ss&index=books&field-autho...ames%20

There are five pages of titles, but once you get past the second page,
there are only two more photos.

One of his latest is "If You Were A Pioneer On The Prairie" by Anne
Kamma, 2003.

Here's another link:

Most of the books are historical (some are semi-fictionalized), but
others are: "The Emperor & the Nightingale" (that was his first, in
1979), "Tales of Magic and Spells" by Corinne Denan, Jacob Grimm, and
Hans Christian Andersen, "King of the Golden Mountain" in 1988,
"Children of the Earth and Sky: Five Stories about Native American
Children" by Stephen Krensky, 1991, "Children of the Wind and Water:
Five stories about Native American Children" by Stephen Krensky, 1994,
and "The Key to the Indian" by Lynne Reid Banks, 1998.
