Here’s my children’s leaflet for the Lawrence Room museum @girtoncollege @girtonoutreach in Cambridge. It’s a twist-fold design, showing 14 objects, all based on the idea of surprise and discovery @girtoncollege.bsky.social

The cover of THE RUSSIAN DETECTIVE by Carol Adlam, featuring Charlie Fox (the protagonist)walking around town with a heavy looking bag.
Interior page. A lone fox under a moonlit sky.
Double page interior. Birds Eye view of a town.
Another interior page, set on a train carriage, showcasing Adlam’s nimbleness between styles. Charlie is charming the other passengers.
Well, this was really good.
THE RUSSIAN DETECTIVE by Carol Adlam.
A whodunnit set in 19th century Russia, told with playfulness and invention, dancing between styles to great effect.
