More About the Author
Product Description
Synopsis
An evocative childhood memoir by the much-loved illustrator of "Winnie the Pooh" and "The Wind in the Willows". In this autobiography, E.H. Shepard describes a classic Victorian childhood. Shepard grew up in the 1880s in Saint John's Wood with his brother and sister. He was surrounded by domestic servants and maiden aunts, in a an age when horse-drawn buses and hansom cabs crowded the streets. Recalling this time with charm and humour, Shepard illustrates these scenes in his own distinctive style.

Whimsical,
By
This review is from: Drawn from Memory: The Autobiography of E.H.Shepard (Paperback)
E H Shepard talks about his childhood in a whimsical and charming manner.
He tells us what it was like growing up in an age of domestic servants, maiden aunts, horse-drawn cabs, gas lamplighters, and policemen armed with truncheons. We hear about his childhood illness of scarletina, and having to be quarantined with it. And of course, the illustrations are delightful. He showed his artistic talent from a very early age and luckily his father kept all of his childhood drawings in a trunk. The sketches that he did when he was just 7 years old are amazing, and are used to illustrate this fascinating book.

This is one of those rare books that you keep through life because it is absolutely perfect - AND add the second Book Drawn from Life. I only wish there were more.
