Two mini scarecrows I made to guard our allotment, which my wife has christened Lottie and Dottie!

His work always has such an atmosphere and each one suggests some kind of story

This FB group is a real treasure trove - www.facebook.com/share/g/1HCH...

There was a definite golden age of book covers here that ran from the 60's until the '80s, with children's books in particular having brilliant art :)
