Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak & weary, Over many a quaint & curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.. . Edgar Allan Poe`s ” The Raven” is one of the most widely recognised poems in the English language. When it first appeared in the New York Evening Mirror, in 1845, the poem made Poe an overnight sensation. Master paper engineer David Pelham amazes us once again with his pop-up design to interpret this haunting love story. ...

In recent years Eric Ravilious has become recognized as one of the most important British artists of the 20th century, whose watercolours & wood engravings capture an essential sense of place & the spirit of mid-century Engl&. What is less appreciated is that he did not work in isolation, but within a much wider network of artists, friends & lovers influenced by Paul Nash`s teaching at the Royal College of Art
- Edward Bawden, Barnett Freedman, Enid Marx, Tirzah Garwood, Percy Horton, Peggy Angus & Helen Binyon among them. The Ravilious group bridged the gap between fine art & design, & the gentle, locally rooted but spritely character of their work came to be seen as the epitome of contemporary British values. Seventy-five years after Ravilious`s untimely death, Andy Friend tells the story of this group of artists from their student days through to the Second World War. Ravilious & Co. explores how they influenced each other & how a shared experience animated their work, revealing the significance in this pattern of friendship of women artists, whose place within the history of British art has often been neglected. Generously illustrated & drawing on extensive research, & a wealth of newly discovered material, Ravilious & Co. is an enthralling narrative of creative achievement, joy & tragedy.
