I have a ‘Puffin’ copy of ‘The children of Green Knowe’ bought a long time ago and on hunting it out i find that there are some lovely illustrations that look like lino cuts or etchings done by Peter Boston. I wonder if this is Lucy’s husband or son? The book is dedicated to her son so i presume her son did the illustrations.

They always seem to have such remarkable color combinations. I don’t know much about them, and wonder if over many years more and more colors have been cultivated.

Best wishes with prolonging the blooming season for your new acquisitions.

I thank you for your appreciation of Lucy Boston. That visit you made to her home also seems to have been remarkable.

Cheers.
