I am delighted to discover that Joe designed your dear dogs symbol for Spitalfields Life. I love spotting his work on the shelves at Daunt Books and other favourites including Clare Curtis and Angela Harding.

(Okay, I’ll probably read them first…)

Lovely read as well. Thanks so much for sharing.

I love this type of illustration; it reminds me of those in the Radio Times in the 50s and 60s when I was a child (Eric Fraser et al). I used to cut them out and paste them in my scrapbook. I have family in Chatham and I was very taken with Rochester when we visited it. This has whetted my appetite for further visits

I also have a cousin who was a book illustrator working in pen and ink – it is a very undervalued art these days with all the technology at hand.

The lovely cover of We, The Drowned was one of the reasons I purchased it for the library I managed at the time it was published – how wonderful to “meet” the illustrator!
