Graham Oakley (1) (1929–2022)

Adventure

What a complete delight! A really joyous journey. Fabulous illustration and funny story! So much fun you want to read it over and over! Graham Oakley is a genius! Such a great loss! We are blessed to have these wonderful stories he left us. Everyone should drop everything and go pick one up now! It’s good for what ails you!

I think Graham Oakley is wonderful. This is my favorite of the Church Mice books. It is just hilarious! The illustration is remarkable, often commenting on the text in a laugh out loud way. I'm so sad that these are not still easily available. Graham Oakley died recently, such a great loss to the world. I'm searching out and reading again all that I can find.

Summer reading that the family left at my house. Not doing anything new, either in terms of art or story, I'm afraid.
