Gibb has illustrated three
picture books by
Ursula Jones—a retired British actress and the surviving sister of
Diana Wynne Jones, published by
Orchard Books.
The Princess Who Had No Kingdom was published in 2009, and was translated into French, Spanish, Dutch and Japanese. It's been described as a book "for parents who are really sick of princess books". It was followed by a sequel,
The Princess Who Had No Fortune, and subsequently a retelling of
Beauty and the Beast. Gibb's "lacy" black and white silhouettes and gold, foiled covers were noted in reviews. She has illustrated at least a dozen books in
The Tiara Club series by
Vivian French, which carry titles such as
Princess Alice and the Glass Slipper, and
Princess Charlotte and the Birthday Ball. (The Library of Congress catalogues 12 volumes featuring 6 named princesses with U.S. editions released in 2007.) Gibb's first book as both author and illustrator was a traditional retelling of Grimms'
Rapunzel, published by
HarperCollins in 2011. In a
NYT review, Pamela Paul drew attention to Gibb's dramatic silhouettes and "curlicued flourishes". She's illustrated a number of other authors' books, including the
Emily Windsnap Series by
Liz Kessler, and
The Last Duchess by Laura Powell. Turning again to fairytales, in 2017 Gibb illustrated
Hilary McKay's
Fairy Tales, which was longlisted for the
Carnegie Medal. A sequel,
Straw into Gold: Fairy Tales Re-Spun, followed in 2018. Both were published by
Macmillan. ==See also==
