Case study: Helen Ward, The Dragon Machine

Helen Ward is mainly considered as an author although she has also illustrated her own works. For the purposes of the case study I have chosen three books where she is the author and the words have been illustrated by another. The reason for this is that I wanted to extract the words from the books and study these textual elements on there own. Trying to find patterns, techniques or methods used in her writing may inform my own project. The words are shown below and I have highlighted to actions, descriptive words and sounds although I have noticed some colours do not show on the scanned copies.
