Introducing Barbara Hodgson's Unique Books

Barbara Hodgson is a Canadian author who has published several illustrated novels, as well as numerous non-fiction works. Her style is similar to Nick Bantock's, author of the Griffin and Sabine series.

Barbara's books are published by Raintree Press.
Their pages are full of fascinating travel ephemera which alone can hold your attention, but the text is more than compelling enough to stand on its own.

If you enjoy stories set in exotic locations and which hold more than a tinge of mystery and the arcane, you'll like Barbara Hodgson's novels!

    I'm a big fan of Barbara Hodgson's work, also Nick Bantock's. Thought I had read them all, but I've missed a few. I am a book designer too and can only dream of doing projects as artful (and expensive to produce!).

    Enjoyed seeing your pages.
