Just found this blog -- what a great piece of work! I have some early Molewsorth editions in my collection -- passed down from my Mum -- and have always enjoyed Searle's work. Thanks for putting together such a great tribute site.
I've got the book and can recommend it to anyone, it's jam-packed with great illustrations, hours of fun.
