Eerie Dearies is an unusual book that offers a carefully crafted and alphabetised section of 26 beautifully illustrated excuses for being AWOL from school. Faded and well-used book covers serve as compelling background to each of these delicately rendered acrylic paintings, creating an atmosphere akin to an old and dusty collection of darkly humorous myths. Rebecca Chaperon's 26 fine art paintings of the misadventures of various literary heroines in surreal landscapes. The perfect peculiar ABC!
