  A collection of the work of the artist, Mabel Lucie Attwell, whose pictures of toddlers presented a sentimental and nostalgic view of daily life during the inter-War period - the world of the nanny and the nursery, of bygone fashions and the paraphanialia of childhood. Mabel Lucie Atwell's work appeared in a diversity of media including books, posters, magazine illustrations, calendars, greeting cards and postcards and inspired a range of dolls and other toys. She even designed a Christmas card for Princess Margaret and a set of nursery china for the infant Prince Charles. The book includes original paintings, family photographs and diary extracts. Chris Beetles used to be half of the Beetles and Buckman comedy script writing team which started in the late 1960s.
