• Resumen

  • Denise Johnstone-Burt has been Anthony Browne’s editor for many years and she has been by his side in the creative process of many of his picture books. In this article, the work of Johnstone-Burt is examined through the analysis of Browne’s Into the forest. It explores the concept of a good publisher and it answers the question of what it is a good book and what special features a children’s book should include. The iconic and narrative analysis of Into the forest will be seconded by Johnstone-Burt’s contributions.
