REGO, Paula & WILLING, Cas. Stone Soup. London: Enitharmon 2014. Illustrated by Paula Rego. One of a limited edition of 150 clothbound numbered copies, signed by the author and the illustrator, this copy being signed by both Rego and her daughter Willing, but unnumbered (I have yet to see a numbered copy and it may be that copies may not have been numbered as stated). Set in Monotype Baskerville and printed on 170gsm Artic Volume FSC paper by Hampton Printing (Bristol) Limited. Bound in cloth, lettered in gilt on spine, with illustration on label pasted to indented panel on front board and text on label pasted to indented panel on rear board, at The Fine Book Bindery, Northamptonshire. Fine copy, as issued. Note: "Full of the macabre touches and dark humour that have made Paula Rego's reputation, Stone Soup is a new version of the traditional Portuguese folktale by her daughter, the designer and writer, Cas Willing. Typically read to children to encourage cooperation in times of scarcity, the fable has existed in numerous incarnations for centuries. We follow the efforts of a young female traveller in her attempt to save herself from starvation, persuading suspicious townspeople to supply her with food for her mysterious Stone Soup. All thirteen watercolour and ink paintings are reproduced here, bringing together Rego's expressive cast of figures amidst their troubled landscape."--Publisher's website.
