Stories for All Seasons
Illus. Alfred E Bestall New Hardback Illustrated
Postscript summary
From pursuing a Woffle-fly on Robin Down in the spring to a bizarre encounter with King Frost one winter, these eight Rupert stories are arranged seasonally and include tales that have not been reprinted since appearing in the Daily Express between 1940 and 1956 – considered by many to be the era when Alfred E Bestall was at his most inventive. Illustrated in colour throughout, the stories are interspersed with sample covers and endpapers. Age 8+
