Magpie Studio has designed a set of ten new stamps celebrating the children’s books of Roald Dahl, using the archived illustrations of Quentin Blake, who has illustrated Dahl’s books since the publication of ‘The BFG’ 30 years ago. Featured works are taken from a range of Dahl’s stories, including Fantastic Mr Fox, Matilda, James and the Giant Peach and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Magpie also commissioned new illustrations for the set, including colour versions of The BFG drawings and some of Dahl’s characters set around the garden shed where the author created them. Along with the stamps, Magpie created a stamp book, a collectors’ presentation pack and a commemorative mini-sheet of four BFG stamps.
