The Connor Brothers Sold at Auction Prices

Mills & Boon romantic novels about relationships between men and women give the readers an easy, thrilling fictional adventure – with a guaranteed happy ending. Widely known for their characteristic cover, these novels take the readers into a fantasy world of intrigue, danger, passion and romance. However, their iconic covers are not only the preview of what’s under them but also a source of inspiration for an artistic duo known as the Connor Brothers.

Composed of Mike Snelle and James Golding, the artistic collaboration became internationally famous for their satirical reinterpretations of Mills & Boon book covers and cynical view of the contemporary culture. The artists explore the concepts of truth and fiction, often blurring the line between the two and raising questions about the process by which people turn the experience into meaning.
