Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire UK 15 July 2019 Most of us associate the drawings of Sir Quentin Blake with Roald Dahl, however his very first book for children, James and the Giant Peach (1961) featured illustrations by renowned American artist and illustrator Nancy Ekholm Burkert. This summer the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre will be stepping back almost 60 years with a multi-sensory exhibition that explores, for the very first time, how these two creative minds worked together to create a classic (opens 20 July – end of September). Now 86-years old, Nancy has collaborated with the Great Missenden Museum to curate the exhibition. Central to the display are fifteen original images, including full color and black and white illustrations, along with a number of unpublished, early sketches. Visitors can also expect to listen to extracts from Roald Dahl’s story, hear a ‘peachy’ soundscape created with Museum visitors and also smell the fragrant peach for that sense of being right inside the book.All photos of Poppy Barmton were taken with her mother , Cyan Bampton permission Paul Quezada-Neiman/Alamy Live News
