Jane Mount – illustratör

The books that we choose to keep--let alone read--can say a lot about who we are and how we see ourselves. In MY IDEAL BOOKSHELF, dozens of leading cultural figures share the books that matter to them most-books that define their dreams and ambitions and in many cases helped them find their way in the world. With colourful and endearingly hand-rendered images of book spines by Jane Mount, and first-person commentary from all the contributors, this is a perfect gift for avid readers, writers, and all who have known the influence of a great book.

Books change lives—and protecting the right to read has never been more urgent. The Banned Books 2027 Wall Calendar, officially licensed by PEN America, highlights the power of literature and the ongoing fight against book bans across the country. Each month features an illustrated collection of frequently challenged books, reminding us why these works matter while under threat. A portion of proceeds goes directly to PEN America, helping to defend free expression and ensure that diverse voices remain accessible to all. Both a practical calendar and a call to action, this is a year-long celebration of the books that shape our world.  Featuring 12 full illustrated color of banned book cover art by Jane MountBonus spread for September–December 2026Generous grids for adding appointments and remindersIncludes major official world holidaysIncludes moon phasesOpens to 12 inches x 24 inches

Photography and Pop-culture buffs, get out your crayons and colored pencils! Martin Parr’s colorful and tongue-in-cheek photographs—his comedy of contemporary manners—have been transformed into a coloring book. Here is Parr’s affectionate and hilarious catalogue of human foibles—our bad fashion choices, messy foods, trashy souvenirs and the tourists who buy them, and all the often-overlooked silly details of our daily life—rendered afresh. The book’s eighty pages are packed with the most iconic and beloved Parr images, made into original drawings by Jane Mount, offering hours of coloring entertainment, as well as Parr’s witty take on the coloring book craze. Be inspired to create a new version of a classic Parr—sunbathers in Speedos, tea-drinkers and rainbow cakes, socks with sandals—and in the process, experience his vision in a new way. A riotous take on the eccentricities and peculiarities of today’s world, for all fans of Parr’s work, and an original contribution to the coloring genre!
