Great Escapes

From jailbreaks to epic journeys, Jamie Coe’s illustrations capture every thrill for Faber & Faber.

London-based illustrator Jamie has brought over thirty remarkable escape stories to life in vivid, full-colour illustrations, from Harriet Tubman’s epic 500-mile journey to Yoshie Shiratori’s four-time jailbreak.

His dynamic, comic-book-inspired style captures the ingenuity, courage, and suspense of each tale, weaving together famous historical feats and lesser-known adventures into a visually compelling narrative.

Jamie’s illustrations perfectly complement the book’s focus on bravery and resilience, making it ideal for readers aged 9 and up.
