Du Fei is Professor of Mural Painting at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, China. His illustrations depicting numerous scenes from the history of the Great Wall of China for readers aged 7+ (part of a series) are gorgeous - packed with detail and information and reminding me of Bruegel. Sadly he is let down by text that is less rich in detail, offering a patchy and uncontextualised history of the wall and its significance.
