First Edition Auction at the House of Illustration, London

 

First Editions: Redrawn will be a unique auction of re-illustrated and annotated first editions to raise money for the House of Illustration. Thirty-four acclaimed illustrators – and some authors – have returned to one of their classic books, adding extra illustrations, comments on existing drawings and personal insights about the motivation behind characters. You can find out more about this, as well as view the catalogue here:

I've contributed a first edition of The Bird King (as inscribed above) and a rare first edition of The Arrival. The auction takes place on Monday, December 8, 2014.
