For those of you here in Seoul who have yet to make weekend plans do consider a visit to an exhibition that shares the works of a renowned British children's author whose stories continue to delight readers of all ages.

Our CHA Yun-kyung has more.

The British author and illustrator Anthony Browne has dedicated his work "A Boy, His Dog and the Sea" to his late brother. The work illustrates the village where the artist is currently living.

Browne has often shown the notion of opposites, such as "big" and "small," by, for example, showing various primates in "Big Gorilla: A Book of Opposites."

He has also shared a warm look at the relationship between a grandfather and grandchild through "My Grandad."

Browne, who is 78, has been illustrating daily life in his new picture books.

Anthony Browne leads a step into a world of imagination and warmth for readers through the beautiful picture books with familiar characters and pastel colors.

"Hidden clues and whimsical details in his illustrations invite visitors to discover references to famous artwork. The essence of Browne's storytelling is the combination of observation, dialogue, and imagination."

Browne's stories explore a wide range of themes resonating with readers of all ages. Family members can enjoy his original artwork, including his latest unpublished creations.

"It was so much fun to see the pictures that I had already seen from his book. It seemed like the characters came to life."

Anthony Browne Exhibition: A Master of the Storytelling will be showcased at Hangaram Art Museum Gallery 3 and 4 of Seoul Arts Center until the end of September.
