Neil Boyle's "Hansel & Gretel"

Thanks to everyone yesterday for sharing anecdotes, information and links to - and about - James Neil Boyle. I've never had such a fast and thorough response to any illustrator I've showcased. Its great to know that Boyle has had such a positive impact on so many illustrators who studied under him - or who simply appreciate his work.

Most of the Neil Boyle artwork I've found over the last few years has been album cover art. Today, a really remarkable thrift store treasure: not only did Boyle illustrate the cover of Disney Productions 1969 children's album, "Hansel & Gretel", he also did all the artwork for a read-along storybook stapled inside. Below, the entire series of images, from start to finish.
