Miyazaki illustrates Chesterton!


The cover of the Japanese edition of The Napoleon of Notting Hill, drawn by none other than Hayao Miyazaki, the animator who made Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Ponyo, and many other beautiful films.

The book was sent very graciously and generously by Father Peter Milward, after my family and me asked him about it at this year's Chesterton conference. I'd looked for the image on the internet unsuccessfully for years.

Wow, thanks for posting this, Mary! I've looked for this before too and never found it.

I wonder what he would have done with The Man Who Was Thursday.
