ABERCONWAY, Christabel [told by]
Michael Joseph
1954
10" x 7 3/4"
Illustrated by Rex Whistler
A rather macabre, but comic adventure conceived by Miss Aberconway as a young girl, at the behest of Whistler, a family friend and one of the most gifted artists in Britain between the wars. He quickly contributed many b/w drawings and three colour plates to illustrated the story, promising to finish and get it published after the war. Sadly he died aged 39 in 1944.
