    ERIC RAVILIOUS is a great artist whose career was finally prevented by the war. But nevertheless: there is an incredible amount of information material about him.

    Thank you for the wonderful reference to the film “Eric Ravilious, Drawn To War”. There is absolutely nothing I would like more than for this documentary to be released in German cinemas this coming July.  I am really looking forward to it.

    Love & Peace

    I still have several “Puffin picture books” from, oh 67+ years ago – including the one partially shown, with the Stegosaurus on the cover (!)

    Is there a chance these lectures/presentations will be recorded? Ravilious fans in Canada would love to be able to take part.
    Oh, to be in England…
