This Tuesday at the Crow’s Nest normal proceedings were momentarily cast aside in favour of an evening of festive drinks and home-made canapés – and it was tremendous fun to celebrate our third year of publishing with so many friends: authors, illustrators, agents, booksellers, journalists, librarians, designers, and many more. The picture at the top of this post gives an idea of what the Crow’s Nest looked like on the night – decorated with fairy lights and dozens of home-made pom-poms (another stroke of decorative genius by our design team – a blog post with instructions to make your own may be forthcoming) – and here, by popular demand, are some of the photos taken on on the night:
Illustrator Axel Scheffler and author Philip Ardagh, creators of The Grunts series.
Giancarlo Gemin, author of Cowgirl, with Dear Scarlett author Fleur Hitchcock.
Elys Dolans, creator of Weasels, with Kate.
Books Always Everywhere author Jane Blatt and illustrator Sarah Massini.
Bizzy Bear illustrator Benji Davies with agent Vicki Wilden-Lebrecht.
Steven Lenton, illustrator for Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam, with Ola, Zoe and Kristina.
Small Blue Thing author S.C. Ransom with Kate and Helen Peters, author of The Secret Hen House Theatre.
A full album of photos will be posted on our Facebook page later today. And from all of us at Nosy Crow, merry Christmas!
