Ernest H. Shepard is perhaps best known for the children's illustrations he did for the work of A.A. Milne and for Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows. His output, however, was considerable and altogether he illustrated somewhere near to a hundred books. Over a period of fifty years he also had weekly drawings in Punch magazine and these too are represented here.

This volume, published to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Ernest Shepard, offers the best and most characteristic of his whole range of work; it also provides a balanced appreciation of the man as artist and companion.
