Simon,

I had a good look online, I consider myself pretty adept at googling,
and I can confirm that the latest book he illustrated, that I can find
online, was a children's book published with Hodder Children's books,
provided this is the same Trevor Newton.  "The Pole Seekers" was
published in 2000, and the book's author, Meredith Hooper, might just
be as good a contact person as Hodder themselves.

Hope this helps
