Description

"I think it a good idea to introduce all the Pooh characters in a suitable background"

English artist and book illustrator (1879-1976) known especially for his human-like animals in illustrations for Winnie-the-Pooh by A. A. Milne. ALS, one page, 5.25 x 7, Woodmancote letterhead, October 11, 1960. Handwritten letter to "Herrmann," in part: "I send you a rough sketch for the jacket for C. R. Story book. I think it a good idea to introduce all the Pooh characters in a suitable background. I have suggested that the lettering might be on a panel but there would be no objection to it being in strong black overlaid, as in the World of C. R. & Pooh. The colours will of course be stronger thank this chalk rough." In fine condition.
