Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. An absolutely outstanding Fine first edition of Captain Beaky, the charming and now-classic collection of children's poetry written by Jeremy Lloyd and beautifully illustrated by Keith Michell. This is the true original 1976/1977 hardcover issue (Chappell & Company Limited) — not a later reprint, pap…erback or annual — complete with the vibrant rainbow-lettered title page, the full list of 28 poems, red endpapers featuring delicate white line drawings of every animal character, and the original author and illustrator photographs and biographies printed on the final page. The Author — Jeremy Lloyd Jeremy Lloyd (1930-2014) was a highly acclaimed English writer, screenwriter, poet and actor. He is best known as the co-creator (with David Croft) of two of Britain's most beloved television sitcoms: Are You Being Served? (1972-1985) and 'Allo 'Allo! (1982-1992). After beginning his career as an actor in the 1960s (including appearances in Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In and films such as School for Scoundrels), Lloyd turned to writing. Captain Beaky was a personal passion project; the poems and characters "simply appeared in his head" and he described the book as "the best thing I've ever done" and "the most pure". The verses were later set to music by Jim Parker, resulting in a best-selling album featuring stars including Twiggy, Harry Secombe and Peter Sellers, plus a UK Top 5 hit single. Lloyd was awarded the OBE for services to comedy and literature. The Illustrator — Keith Michell Keith Michell (1926-2015) was a multi-talented Australian-born actor, stage director, singer and acclaimed watercolour artist. Trained at the Adelaide School of Arts and Crafts, he became one of Britain's leading Shakespearean and musical-theatre performers and is forever remembered for his Emmy-winning portrayal of Henry VIII in the landmark 1970 BBC series The Six Wives of Henry VIII (and its feature-film sequel). He also served as Artistic Director of the Chichester Festival Theatre. Michell's distinctive ink-and-watercolour style perfectly captures the whimsical spirit of Lloyd's poems; the artist had several solo exhibitions of his paintings, and he personally sang several tracks on the Captain Beaky album. The volume contains the complete original collection of poems, including the title piece "Captain Beaky" (with Timid Toad, Reckless Rat, Artful Owl and Batty Bat), "The Ginger Cat", "Dennis the Dormouse", "George the Giraffe", "Herbert the Hedgehog", "The Haggis Season", "Wilfred the Weasel", "Blanche", "Claude the Crab", "My Best Friend" and many more. Every spread features Michell's large, atmospheric illustrations with the dedication page reading: "This book is for three children I'm very fond of … Sascha, Julian and Anouska Hempel". Condition Fine — essentially as issued and untouched. The pictorial laminated boards are bright, glossy and completely unmarked with zero rubbing, fading or shelf-wear. The binding is tight and square. All 64 pages are crisp, fresh and pristine with vivid, unfaded watercolours. No inscriptions, bookplates, stamps, ownership marks, tears, creases, foxing or browning. A truly gift-quality copy that looks as though it has just left the publisher. Format: Hardcover, pictorial laminated boards (no dust jacket issued) Pages: 64 pp. Size: Quarto (approx. 30.5 × 21.5cm) Illustrations: Profusely illustrated throughout with full-page and double-page original watercolour and ink drawings by Keith Michell Condition: Fine / Like New This delightful 1970s crossover title — part children's poetry, part cult comedy album tie-in — is increasingly sought after by collectors of Jeremy Lloyd, Keith Michell artwork, and 1970s illustrated children's books. A rare opportunity to acquire a perfect example of this charming volume. Keith Michell (illustratore).
