Sad to hear Michael Hague has died! 🕯️ His edition of Wind in the Willows was my definitive childhood version, and I pored over his large pictures for hours, especially the trees, Badger’s House and Toad Hall. His Piper at the Gates of Dawn is exquisite 💛

The Golden West…

A wonderful Christmas present to us all from top author, artist and filmmaker #PhilipReeve: an original, fun little #Western movie! See Prairie Rascals (and read my glowing review) over on the blog: cowboyscapescowls.blogspot.com/2025/12/prai... @philipreeve.bsky.social

A blog post about the process of writing (& filming) Prairie Rascals. What was its original title? Which characters share dialogue with Mortal Engines assassins? Why does nobody talk when there’s a horse around? ALL IS REVEALED. philipreeveblog.blogspot.com/2025/12/writ...

I drew Torbay Symphony Orchestra! (There were a LOT of musicians, it was tricky!) They did a great job playing Stravinsky’s ‘Rite of Spring’
