Illustrated classics for adults Here, Collins Design's WISP series pairs two legendary creators writer Ray Bradbury and artist Dave McKean to create an irresistible package perfect for Halloween and all year 'round.
The WISP series (Wonderfully Illustrated Short Pieces) represents an ingenious marriage of two creative forces: the artistry of today's foremost illustrators and the literary legacy of beloved authors of popular short works for adults. The resulting offspring of this union are captivating, full color illustrated editions of timeless classics that readers will want to savor and collect.
