Rachel Walsh is a second year Illustration student studying at Cardiff School of Art & Design.  She was given the project: ‘“Explain something modern/Internet-based to someone who lived and died before 1900.” Her choice: explain the Kindle to Charles Dickens.

Walsh says:

‘All the books I made had the actual covers on them, and were the books Dickens wrote, his favourite childhood books, or books I’ve got.

There are 40 little books inside.’
