Great cover and a great title! Couldn't resist buying this the other day. Published by a firm of herbalists a very long time ago, it claims cure for every illness there is (using natural herbs). Well, the book itself is a living proof that it can be done!Harris Sofokleoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17107163589918327131noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675388868233800975.post-17303098906521496262018-01-23T17:47:00.000-08:002018-03-24T19:05:25.704-07:00A late Happy New Year (drawing by Harris)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The striking illustrations by British artist Helen Stratton (1867-1961). Was very lucky to have found this book recently, even though it's in tatters and barely holding together.

This is a genuine 1930's adventure novel - very bulky too, but only because the pages are so thick! Beautifully drawn, delicate illustrations by British illustrator Gordon Browne (1858 - 1932). Love the design and type on the cover too.</div>

Only a very brief biography is available on this British artist - Cecil Leslie (1900-1980) - even though she had many fine art exhibitions in the twenties and thirties as well as illustrating many children's books in the fifties and sixties: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecil_Mary_Leslie" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecil_Mary_Leslie</a></div>

The author, Pauline Clarke (1921-2013) is using the name Helen Clare for this and all the Five Dolls books that were published between 1953 and 1963. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauline_Clarke" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauline_Clarke</a></div>

Powerful and dynamic illustrations by British artist Edward Osmond (1900-1981). I was really excited to find this book among hundreds of other dusty and musty books in a local second-hand shop - and it's a first edition as well! Here is a biography on the artist from the Bear Alley blog 2007: <a href="https://bearalley.blogspot.co.uk/2007/12/edward-osmond.html?m=1" target="_blank">https://bearalley.blogspot.co.uk/2007/12/edward-osmond.html?m=1</a><br />
