Granny’s Keepsake Cabinet

A whimsical children’s picture book:

Tiberius McLeggett is a small spider who lives on top of Granny’s keepsake cabinet which holds Granny’s special treasures. Tiberius likes to spin cobwebs, but Granny likes to dust away cobwebs. The spider looks for a new home inside the cabinet, where he meets some interesting new friends.

Amanda is a Dorset-based illustrator with a deep passion for children's picture books and the visual arts. Her work has underlying playful themes in its narrative, created primarily by employing traditional mediums from dip pens, inks, pastels and watercolours to collage. In using a wide variety of analogue materials Amanda creates unique textures and unexpected outcomes. She is inspired by the micro and macro elements to be found in nature, the seashore and also from travelling in urban landscapes.
