I did the Illustrations for 'The Man Who Knew Too Much and Other Stories'. The book also contains 'Trees of Pride','The Garden of Smoke','The Five of Swords' and 'The Tower of Treason'. In his stories,Chesterton uses paradoxes and defies logic and apparent reality. He poses continuous rational and moral challenges. My intention was to question visual logic,trying to capture the spirit of the book.
I made 16 illustrations, opening each chapter, a cover, endpapers and some spot illustrations.
