Produced with careful thought to every detail, this slipcased treasury is going to win over the hearts of all fans, and those meeting Rupert for the first time. It includes an Introduction by Caroline Bott, Bestall's goddaughter and a Foreword by Gyles Brandreth. The stories have been carefully selected to appeal to readers of all ages. It also includes some never-been-seen-before sketches by Bestall kindly donated by Caroline Bott. The treasury format is a proven success for Egmont. Exquisitely designed, with smart black foil on the cover, this book shows Bestall's work at its best.
