The D'Oyly Carte Souvenir takes us on a melodious journey, while Wartime Toby jugs remind us of the resilience during WW1. In Kensington Gardens, the Peter Pan statue stands as a timeless symbol of childhood wonder. Cecil Aldin's 'In the Days of Dickens' brings Victorian London to life with vivid illustrations. Delving into Old English Proverbs and Sayings by Pauline Baynes reveals wisdom passed down through generations. Stories of the Old Testament captivate our imagination with biblical figures illustrated by Baynes once again. Pantomime Characters and Commedia dell Arte add a touch of theatricality to our lives.
