It may have universal themes like love, death, life lessons and family issues; it could also be beautifully crafted and have a gripping story.  But we know it\u2019s not\u00a0just\u00a0about the story. Like any good recipe, several key ingredients make a book a classic.\u00a0The same can be said of a perfect scent, the layers and ingredients that come together in union are perfectly crafted too. Sometimes these two crafts meet and create dancing joyous harmony.

Unseen preparatory sketches, etching plates and Rego\u2019s very own childhood copy of <em>Peter Pan <\/em>offer audiences an intimate portrayal of the artist&#8217;s lifelong fascination with

innocence and cruelty, in order to explore the complexities of life and the experience of women in particular, in all its strangeness and mystery. <em>Paula Rego: Visions of English Literature<\/em>
