The illustrations for this series were created by Scott McKowen, who, with his wife Christina Poddubiuk, operates Punch & Judy Inc., a company specializing in design and illustration for theater and performing arts. Their projects often involve research into the visual aspects of historical settings and characters. Christina is a theater set and costume designer and contributed advice on the period clothing for the illustrations.
Scott created these drawings in scratchboard ­ an engraving medium which evokes the look of popular art from the period of these stories. Scratchboard is an illustration board with a specifically prepared surface of hard white chalk. A thin layer of black ink is rolled over the surface, and lines are drawn by hand with a sharp knife by scraping through the ink layer to expose the white surface underneath. The finished drawings are then scanned and the color is added digitally.
As the popularity of the recent Lemony Snicket books proves, children never get tired of reading about orphans and their misfortunes. So Frances Hodgson Burnett's 1905 story about a pampered little rich girl who suddenly finds herself poor and fatherless should continue to entice generations of fans.

      The story of Sara Crewe, a wealthy boarding school student who retains her pluck even when her personal circumstances change, is presented in its unabridged format. A handful of scratchboard illustrations (all featuring a monkey that doesn't debut until halfway through the novel) repeat over and over as chapter headers. The book concludes with some open-ended questions to stimulate thought.
