Our series Four Corners Familiars features artists’ responses to classic novels and short stories. They provide a fresh look at the tradition of the illustrated novel, with each artist choosing a text to be reprinted in full alongside their newly created work.

Each book is different in style and format, according to the needs of the artwork and the text. Five titles have now been completed, with more planned for 2010.

The series designer is John Morgan: www.morganstudio.co.uk

#1 The Picture of Dorian Gray
Artist: Gareth Jones

#2 Dracula

#3 Blumfeld, An Elderly Bachelor

#5 A Stick Of Green Candy

#6 The Prisoner Of Zenda (to be published in 2010)
