In today's Daily Telegraph (UK), Review Section, the illustrator Tony Ross was asked to name his five favourite children's books. One of them was SA. He gave the usual reasons, saying that the book gave him a lifelong love of sailing, but naturally he also mentioned the illustrations: "The simple line drawings were just wonderful; they gave the feeling of wide open spaces and freedom".
