Stratton, Helen.
Walberswick Marshes:
(Date unknown).
An original delicate watercolour painting on card (unframed) believed to be by the artist Helen Stratton (24.5 cm x 27.5cm or 9.5 inches x 10.5 inches). Stratton is a highly-regarded illustrator of children's fairy tales. Signed with initials in bottom right-hand corner (active 1891-1925). Framer's plate (which is separate, but which has presumably been on the back of the picture when framed) gives provenance - Walberswick Marshes - Helen Stratton - and her London address: 113 Abingdon Road, Kensington. The picture, in greens and blues, is of a bridge over marshland. Walberswick in Suffolk was a haven for artists in the 1890s and 1900s and is associated with Philip Wilson Steer and his circle of English Impressionists. The card has suffered a little acidification from the original backing boards. Corners worn, one slightly split, some browning to edges, and light brown staining to top left edge, about 1.5cm wide. Otherwise very good. pp. Order No. NSBK-C15466

Mpata, Agnes and Thabit, Issa.
Wie die Tiere ihre Farbe Bekamen:
(Brockhaus Stgt, 2011).
Der stolze König Löwe hat einen Sohn bekommen. Und deshalb lädt er alle Tiere zu einem grossen Fest ein. Die Freude ist riesig, nur - wie putzt man sich am festlichsten heraus für diesen Anlass? Lange überlegen die Tiere, wälzen Ideen hin und her. Dann hat der kleine Leopard einen genialen Einfal - sich gegenseitig farbig anzumalen! Begeistert machen sie sich an die Arbeit. Ziemlich turbulent geht es dabei zu, und für manche Tiere kommt es ganz anders als geplant. Wir erfahren, wie der Pavian zu seinem roten Hinterteil kam und wieso der Esel seitdem bei den Menschen lebt. Hardback. Very good. pp. Order No. NSBK-A16077
