Synopsis:
Alfred Edmeades Bestall (1892–1986) is best known as the illustrator of Rupert Bear's adventures from 1935 to 1965. This biography, written by his god-daughter, who inherited his early work, diaries and journals, reveals the true breadth of Bestall's work and reproduces artworks for Tatler and other magazines, book illustrations and watercolours as well as Rupert pictures. The second half of the book comprises Bestall's sketchbooks and journals from Wales, Egypt, the Middle East and Europe. Foreword by Sir Paul McCartney. Off-mint.
About the Author: Caroline Bott is Fred Bestall's god-daughter. She has spent many years researching the life of Fred Bestall, and this is her first book for Bloomsbury. She lives with her husband in Milford, Surrey, where they have a permanent exhibition of Fred Bestall's artwork (by telephone appointment only).
