She also had a strong sense of character, as shown by her numerous illustrations to children's books. This book contains the first indepth assessment of Gwen Raverat as a wood engraver, exploring her technique and her experiments with color prints. Also, it contains a full catalogue of all her engravings and a descriptive bibliography of the books and ephemera which she illustrated.
