82 ABOVE: Illustration for 'The Happy Prince'. ABOVE RIGHT: Illustration for 'The Three Bears'. RIGHT: Illustration for 'The Real Princess'. FACING PAGE ABOVE: Illustration for 'Jack the Giant Killer'. FACING PAGE BELOW: 'The Frog Prince'. In all these examples, Ron's natural flair for beautiful drawing and strong design is underpinned by his attention to detail and characterisation. Note the strong rhythmic sense which flows through his figure-work, folds of clothing and the poses of his figures, all adding to the sense of movement and liveliness which characterise his art.
