Colin Stimpson sets his version of Jack and the Beanstalk in a futuristic 1950s America, with skyscrapers surrounding the flyover under which Jack and his mother run a café, and a vintage framing to the illustrations. When the flyover threatens their café, Jack's mother sends him to buy the best coffee beans to attract new customers, but he buys baked beans instead. His mother throws them out, yet after climbing the resulting beanstalk, he finds a giant whose cooking skills save the business. A delightful, comic twist on a traditional tale.
Colin Stimpson studied illustration at Kingston School of Art. He has worked as an animator for a number of notable companies, including Disney and Steven Spielberg's Amblimation. He has also illustrated for the highly successful Poison Diaries by the Duchess of Northumberland, and Templar's best-selling Ology series.
