We had been really impressed with the way Raphael had worked on our project with Nottingham castle and knew he had worked on other projects where illustrations accompanied poetry and creative writing - Raph has also travelled through Asia so we felt he would understand Christopher's vision. 

We agreed a fee for the illustrations and cover separately from  the costs of typesetting, design, editing and proofing. We worked closely with Christopher on the edit and we are all very happy with the result.
