He loved art and painted himself. He referred to many Victorian and other paintings in his novels. I collected these images when writing my PhD 'From the Eccentric to the Essential: a study of Hardy's imagery and his debt to the visual arts.'
I'm downsizing and it seems a shame to throw out this valuable material. It took 2 years and a trip to Europe to collect.
Free to a good home! Collect from Sarsfield St, Herne Bay.

Do we need better animal welfare rules in Aotearoa?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The amateur artist and unemployed architect developed the word game in the midst of the depression. Still, it wasn’t until 1948, a final name change and a trademark that Butts finally began to produce the game.
