Anthony Browne has always acknowledged the classic cult movie 'King Kong' to be one of the most potent influences on his work; this greatest of all 'gorilla' stories is surely the book above all he was destined to illustrate. King Kong is a giant gorillaa huge and terrifying survivor from another age on an island trapped in a time warp.But this awesome creature is no match for the cunning of an ambitious promoterwho sees Kong as a mega showstopperand sets out to trap him.The pursuit and capture provide endless thrillsbut when Kong is finally put on show to the public in New York the heart-stopping moments beginleading to perhaps one of the most famous of all climaxes as King Kong defies the world from the top of the Empire State Building. This book is a major attractiona 'first' in every sense as King Kong has never before appeared as a full-colour book.There will not be a dry eye in the house when the last page is turned. Anthony Browne is now rightly regarded as one of the world's leading picture book creators.His books include 'Piggybook' 'Changes' 'The Big Baby'and three books about the enormously popular chimp Willy.He has won awards in many countriesincluding the Kate Greenaway Medal and the Kurt Maschler Award for his now classic book 'Gorilla' and the Kate Greenaway Medal a second time for 'Zoo'. In 1993 a major exhibition of his work was mounted in Mexico. 'King Kong'which has occupied him for two yearsis his most ambitious project to date then 1994. PosthumouslyEdgar Wallace's most famous work was one he wouldn't get to see.Out of several scripts he penned for the RKO studioMerian C.
