Reader Reviews:
A wonderful, classic Rupert book; beautifully illustrated. (7/7 people found this helpful)
The 1949 Reproduction has all the favourite elements of a Rupert annual. There are more stories in this than in the modern Ruperts; a total of nine. The book contains: Rupert and Ninky, Rupert and the Young Imp, Rupert's Magic Top, Rupert's Ilsnad Adventure, Rupert and Uncle Grizzly, Rupert and the Twins, Rupert's New Pal, Algy and the Bee, and Pong Ping's Party.
Alfred Bestall manages to capture the magic and possibility of childhood imagination in these stories. Only in Nutwood could one have the possibility of stepping round a corner or through a doorway and entering a far-off mystical land. There is a reason that both children and adults adore Bestall's stories, and surely that is the spirit of wonder and discovery contained in them.
Bestall's illustrations are, as usual, delightful.
This is an absolute must for any Rupert collector!
