Alan Odle was an English book illustrator. His imaginative drawings are very powerful, but were not a success in his lifetime. In 2012 I published a book on him – The Life & Work of Alan Odle, which contains a biography, a bibliography, letters and artwork. This may be obtained from my other site www.booksandthings.co.uk. or ebay. Also available is my Bibliographical Checklist of the Work of Harry Clarke.
