The Decemberistsā front man Colin Meloy announced plans to release a childrenās book today. Meloyās wife and frequent collaborator Carson Ellis will provide the illustrations. The book is called The Unfortunate Demise of Whitley Rackham and is not quite completed. Release information is therefore TBD. But this isnāt the first time Ellis illustrated a musician-penned childrenās book. She is also responsible for the images in Lemony Snicketās The Composer Is Dead. Snicket (A.K.A. Daniel Handler) is, of course, known for the A Series Of Unfortunate Events installments and has also recorded and performed with The Magnetic Fields. Books! Check āem out. (Oh yes, the image to the left is from Rackham).
