	Guardian Unlimited Books \| By genre \| Dances with frogs
		Blake's drawing has an almost reckless vitality and a distinctive, mercurial line - which he seems only to have to fling at an idea in order to retrieve a spontaneous, expressive image.
		It is rich in period detail, and the comedy, the romance, the drama of the illustrations are in glorious contrast to the present-day framing narrative, which uses relaxed sepia to show a woman quietly relating this family history to her daughter over a cup of cocoa.
		Nature takes a particularly alarming course in Blake's most recent picture book, Loveykins (Cape, 2003), though you wouldn't guess it from the jaunty insouciance of the first few pen and wash drawings in which Angela, a classic Blake matron, rescues a little bird that has fallen from his nest.
