The book features retro style pen and ink illustrations by Joan Escandell (illustrator of Captain Thunder, He-Man, and Disney's Cinderella and The Lion King), who molded the image many youngsters in Europe have of literary figures like Robin Hood. The book gives free access to a library of downloadable high-resolution animal images.

Joan Escandell (Ibiza, 1937) is one of the most outstanding comic book authors of the 20th century in Spain. He worked for the mythical publishing house Bruguera (contributing to "Captain Thunder" among others), an iconic brand in the Spanish-speaking publishing world, where he was a prolific comic book illustrator. The prevailing image many Spanish speaking teenagers have from figures like Ivanhoe or Robinson Crusoe originates from his unforgettable drawings for the series "Literary Jewels for Young Readers" (Joyas Literarias Juveniles). Joan Escandell is also well-known in other European countries as the illustrator of the first eco-friendly series "Antares" in France (1975-1990) and his version of He-Man in Germany. He also contributed to Disney productions like 'Cinderella', 'The Lion King', 'Hercules' or 'Pocahontas'.
