Nosy Crow will next year turn its fairy tale apps, including
recent addition Jack and the Beanstalk, into picture books.
Digital manager Tom Bonnick told
The Bookseller the decision was a “no-brainer” because of all
the “fantastic artwork” he had from animator and illustrator Ed Bryan. “We
had all this artwork sitting there and they’re obviously wonderful stories,
so picture books seemed like the sensible place to take them… It’s an
unusual path to publication but we think the artwork stands up to print.”
