About this deal

A god on his island, the enormous gorilla will interact with humans and fall for the beautiful girl, actress Ann Darrow, a blonde sensation looking like Marilyn Monroe. He hides a number of interesting and thought provoking things in his illustrations which almost makes it feel like you’re reading the pictures as well the text.

All goes well until photographers, using the blinding flashbulbs of the era, begin snapping shots of Ann and Jack, who is now her fiancé. Anthony was also the first British winner of the Hans Christian Andersen Award, one of the highest international honours for illustration. Although Denham, Englehorn, Jack and Ann are hiding behind foliage, the native chief spots them and approaches the troop. This is the first time 'Kong' had ever appeared as a book and a book Anthony Browne was destined to illustate. Unfortunately, I did find the book’s storyline quite slow and unexpectedly struggled to maintain interest in finishing the book myself.Finally arriving at the island's shore, they see a native village perched on a peninsula, cut off from the bulk of the island by an enormous wall.

In 2009, Anthony was appointed Children's Laureate, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the world of picture books. His enthralling story involves battles with dinosaurs, daring rescues and incredible escapes - endless thrills lead up to one of the most famous climaxes of all time!

They set sail aboard the Venture, an old tramp steamer that travels for weeks in the direction of Indonesia, where Denham claims they will be shooting. While a 1933 monster movie might seem like a bad idea as bed time story for your tyke, somehow Browne pulls it off. Hair-raising adventures providing endless thrills for the reader follow (just as in the film) until that now famous climax on that iconic building in New York .Captain Englehorn is able to understand the native speech, and at Denham's urging makes friendly overtures to the chief. The ape gently sets Ann down on the building's observation deck and climbs atop the dirigible mooring mast, trying to fend off the attackers.
