About the author

Born in London, Jane studied art and design at Middlesex University. Her main study was ceramics and she didn't start to illustrate until she left college. Her first published work was a series of greetings cards for Roger la Borde, followed by some book jackets, and eventually black and white illustrations for a poetry anthology with Orchard Books.

Reviews

[Katherine Salinas · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fantastic book about three major stories from the Bible: Creation, Noah's Ark and the story of Christmas. The illustrations by Jane Ray are beautiful, imaginative and lovely. I like that certain Scriptures had their own artwork and there was always something new to look at. One complaint, using the King James Version will limit many young readers from understanding, though I'm sure the illustrations were intended to make up for that. I would be anxious to see more of Jane Ray's work!

Wish it had been done in KGV. Obviously an artist rendition, but felt that a few things could have been depicted differently...
