Edward Ardizzone: 80 Years of Little Tim

Using original artwork from Tim and Lucy Go to Sea, Tim and Charlotte, Tim in Danger and The Little Train, (the later written by Graham Greene) as well as draft material, single illustrations, printed books and letters, the exhibition will celebrate this iconic British illustrator while introducing his work to a new generation. Original artwork - some of it on show for the first time - introduces the characters that made Ardizzone’s books so popular. Meet the heroic Little Tim, mischievous Ginger, resourceful Charlotte and the Wise Old Boatman. Be transported back to the glory days of the classic British seaside town complete with red, white and blue bunting hanging from the lamp-posts and children with whirligigs playing on the beach. Families can dress up as sailors and create their own sea-faring adventure, adding illustrations and stories to our captain’s logbook.
