Old newspaper used to insulate the minor bird cage. Got an air mail letter from California today. Rare thing to have the pleasure of receiving a hand written letter, the date and everything. There were three stamps illustrated with birds on. A Mountain Bluebird, a Western Tanager and a Painted Bunting. I painted a budgerigar once.
In the corner of the stamps were the words 'forever U S A'.
the cover by Barron Storey would have been a nice addition to this evolution of the book jacket
ReplyDeleteMaybe. The selection is writer Peter Conrad'schoice, and having checked out Storey's version, it's a bit unfashionable, it's a bit Mills and Boon......sorry for the slow response been busy chopping wood, needling splinters out of my flesh.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the Lord of the Flies images by Kent Williams for Criterion? http://www.criterion.com/current/posts/2835-drawing-lord-of-the-flies
ReplyDeleteI've been absent lately. No I haven't seen the Kent Williams images. Yes I have now. Very good. Theatrical.
