Notes:
Browne's illustrations effectively capture the might and sheer size of Kong in his island home, his transformation from an animal in the wild to a captive curiosity and finally his defiant death. The illustrations are reminiscent of movie-like images and provide plenty of scope for discussion, as do themes such as commercial exploitation and people's hunger for the unusual.
