For the last three years in Devon, I’ve been learning how to ring the bells in our local church tower. But the tower is cracking, and we’re going to have to sell off our lovely bells unless we can pay to fix the tower 😭 Can you help us, with even a fiver? 🙏 www.gofundme.com/f/save-bovey...
In this #NationalYearOfReading, what are some things we can do to inspire children to read? (Article may contain a lot of photos of a very young me… link in the next post!)
New painting: Queen of the Garden I'm trying something out: I love the look of medieval gold, but I can't get that shine with a print. So I'm going to offer a hand-gilded print, and add the gold-coloured ink myself when people place an order. Link in the next post! 🧵
Adventuremice announcement (yay!) 🐭🐭
Philip Reeve@philipreeve.bsky.social · 5mo agoAnnouncing the 9th Adventuremice book, Mini Mice Mayhem, in which our heroes face their most challenging adventure yet… Artwork by my brilliant co-author @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social Published by DFB on 8th October, but you can pre-order it from UK bookshops NOW!
Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

Sad to hear Michael Hague has died! 🕯️ His edition of Wind in the Willows was my definitive childhood version, and I pored over his large pictures for hours, especially the trees, Badger’s House and Toad Hall. His Piper at the Gates of Dawn is exquisite 💛
