Here's a terrific opening page from THE MAN WHO LOST HIS HEAD, written by Claire Huchet Bishop in 1942 and illustrated by none other than "MAKE WAY FOR DUCKLINGS" Robert McCloskey. The exquisite graphic pen and ink work gives the celebrated artist away. I have an edition dating back to 1955 but just learned that it was recently reissued in 2009. It's a fun if not totally bizarre story, and haven't we all felt a little like the guy in this illustration!
