A definite yes from me. Dahl, Tolkien, Conan Doyle, Dickens: it's hard to imagine reading book by any of these authors without an interspersing of illustrations. They do have to be very good though, and done by someone who has both a love of the writing and an intimate knowledge of the author. Ideally the author themselves!
