Scout Books is officially publishing, and our new imprint is called Good Ink.
We just released our first literary box set that includes ten must-read classic American authors paired with ten wonderful illustrators. The earliest story in the mix is “Rip Van Winkle” by Washington Irving (originally published in 1819!).
We were thrilled when one of our favorite Portland artists, Bwana Spoons, jumped on the chance to illustrate this iconic American tale. Andrea Raijer helped document this awesome project, following Bwana as he created original illustrations for the Scout Books edition of Rip Van Winkle, then tracing the path of those illustrations through the Scout Book production process. Our friend Chris Funk assisted with music.
Enjoy!
