The Wonderful World of Carson Ellis

Recently I had the pleasure of reading Wildwood by Colin Meloy from The Decemberists and illustrated by his other half, Carson Ellis.

The story was sweet and magical, but for me the illustrations were lovely little worlds, soft tones of grey in amidst the black and white, curious expressions on the faces, I found myself racing ahead, desperate for another picture. Here are some of the illustrations of Ellis, surely ready to enchant the next lot of younger readers that stumble across Wildwood, but beware, like the awakening ivy, may just suck you in.
