Cloth, 8vo, 26 cm, 216 pp, ills (some in colour). From the blurb: "In this enchanting new book, illustrated in colour and black and white with many drawings which have never been reproduced before, and a number of recently discovered photographs by Beatrix's father, Margaret Lane, author of the best-selling biography, The Tale of Beatrix Potter, considerably extends the biographical background of Beatrix Potter's 'magic years', from early childhood to her marriage, during which the genius of the author-artist developed and flowered. There are fascinating glimpses of the secluded life that the young Beatrix lived in a Victorian family in Kensington, with a father whose only real interest was photography, and a mother whose life revolved around her daily drive in a carriage to pay calls. The development of Beatrix's artistic gifts, her intense study of botany and zoology, and the invention of a secret cipher to record her private thoughts and daily happenings in a vast journal - these are some of the lonely exercises which finally led to the writing and illustration of tales for children which are now internationally acclaimed. Margaret Lane traces the genesis of the stories, which developed from illustrated letters written by Beatrix Potter to her ex- governess's children; and she reveals, in illuminating detail, the relationship of the stories to scenes and episodes in Beatrix's life. In an epilogue she records the transformation of the lonely, diffident young woman who created a magic world in her imagination into the strong-willed, highly practical farmer she became in middle age after her marriage."

Cloth, 4to, 26 cm, 144 pp, 8 colour plates, numerous black-and-white ills. . Leslie Brooke, with characteristic modesty, once wrote: 'My brother and I were always drawing, like any other children, and I went on drawing; there is my story.' But there is much more to the Leslie Brooke story, for he went on to become one of the most celebrated artists of children's books in the first part of this century, known to myriads on both sides of the Atlantic. In this appreciation of Leslie Brookes life and work, Henry Brooke tells of his father's rare gift of being able to draw with a child's involvement in mind. His interpretations of the well-tried nursery rhymes and fairy tales - in The Nursery Rhyme Book, edited by Andrew Lang, The Golden Goose Book and Ring O' Roses - abound in amusing incidents and details to be newly discovered at almost every fresh reading. Although he illustrated many books, his greatest triumphs were his own creations, Johnny Crow's Garden, Johnny Crow's Party, and Johnny Crow's New Garden. Johnny Crow first began as a game in verse, made up by Leslie Brooke's father to the instructions of his two young sons, but the credit for that wonderful character and perfect host must go to Leslie Brooke, whose humorous balance of picture and text cannot be surpassed. Henry Brooke describes his father's childhood in the Birkenhead of the 1860s, his life as a young man, when the result of an illness abroad deprived him of a university education but enabled him to take up his beloved art as a career, and his student days, which led up to a happy marriage. He draws a picture of Leslie Brooke as a meticulous worker, not only in the children's book field where he refused to allow personal tragedy to over-shadow his work, but as a portrait and landscape artist of distinction; as a perfect husband and understanding father; and as a true friend, always ready to help others less fortunate than himself. Leslie Brooke was a kindly man with a delicious sense of fun, which is aptly illustrated by the little joke he had planned for his funeral so that even such a solemn event might be touched with humour.
