@Year4_BDP @bentondeneprim I think it was Escape From Pompeii and this one The Scarab's Secret.

@Year4_BDP @bentondeneprim One of the things I enjoy illustrating most of all is the human figure in movement. I especially like to do so in black and white believe it or not.

@Year4_BDP @bentondeneprim I haven't actually! But my father went to school in Egypt and I based most of my images in this book on the wonderful Egyptian rooms within the British Museum.
