Alex Milway’s illustrations for his Hotel Flamingo: Fabulous Feast (Piccadilly, RRP£6.99) have something of Blake’s style about them, loose but lively. The fourth volume in the Hotel Flamingo series is about loss of nerve and rediscovering confidence. Stunt pigeon Alfonso Fastbeak crash-lands at the animal-run hostelry, having temporarily lost the power of flight. Meanwhile, temperamental chef Madame Le Pig is enrolled, against her will, in a cookery competition that tests her culinary skills and her self-belief to the limit.
