Richard Dennis, Shepton Beauchamp, first edition, 1999. Laminated boards, large 8vo, 31 cm. Very Good. 116 pp, colour plates, ills, facs. For over sixty years, Mabel Lucie Attwell (1879-1964) was a household name in the United Kingdom and many other parts of the English-speaking world. Renowned for her illustrations of chubby children and plump puppies, no Christmas was complete without one of her colourful annuals. No bathroom could be without the plaque which displayed her famous poetic plea, Please Remember, Don't Forget — NEVER Leave the Bathroom Wet! Her highly-collectable children's china, produced by Shelley, was widely used in nurseries, and her postcards for Valentine & Sons of Dundee, sold in their millions. Yet, although her name was so familiar in Britain, the artist herself remained something of an enigma and this prompted John Henty's determination to find out more about her. The Collectable World of Mabel Lucie Attwell chronicles what she herself called 'a lively life' and explores her family background. The author was given exclusive access to family documents and personal papers, and he interviewed several members of her family. He also gained insights into Mabel Lucie's personality from a remarkable notebook in which she describes her eventful trip to Romania at the invitation of Queen Marie. This comprehensive compilation of Mabel Lucie Attwell's work contains the first published listing of her postcards; details of her children's ware; an extensive list of the books she illustrated; and many examples of other creative work, including her elf-like Book s, Diddums dolls, biscuit tins and jigsaw puzzles. The Collectable World of Mabel Lucie Attwell will appeal to collectors and to all those who are interested in children's books and book design, postcards, dolls and ephemera." - from the blurb.
