YOGYAKARTA: The Gadjah Mada University (UGM) in cooperation with the British Council will hold the Indonesia-Britain Children's Book Illustration exhibit here from August 4 to August 18, a spokesman has announced.

"The exhibit, to be held at Yogyakarta's traditional palace, will showcase about 40 selected books illustrated by British cartoonist, Quentin Blake, and Indonesian cartoonist Fabi Koesoemadinata," head of UGM's library Ida Fajar Priyanto said.

"The Magic Pencil" is the theme of the exhibit, she said.
