This book brings together works by more than one hundred illustrators

from all over the world, who stand out for the diversity of their characters

and their ability to lend their creations a life of their own. They are

ordered by colour, which is the common thread that pervades, structures

and delineates the book, providing its conceptual hinge, graphic force and

visual unity. This challenging and daring choice is fully in keeping with the

spirit of the characters presented in this volume.
