Castles

After leaving art school, Colin Thompson went to the London school of film Technique. He worked for a while at the BBC, then moved to the Outer Hebrides where he began 20 years of self-employment ceramics.He is is the author/illustrator of several highly acclaimed picture books including The Paradise Garden, The Last Alchemist and Falling Angels. He lives in New South Wales, Australia.

Unconstrainedly escapist. Thompson is a one-off, a wit, a virtuoso. His collection of imaginary "castles" is a surreal treat
