The result of many years careful and painstaking research, the author has pieced together the life of her godfather Alfred (‘Fred’) Bestall, who illustrated Rupert Bear in the Daily Express for 30 years (the only day he missed was to make way for Churchill’s war speech). The artwork was bequeathed by Fred Bestall to the author with the words — 'you will probably want to make a bonfire of this' — which would have been a  tragedy.

Caroline Bott has lovingly collected together and catalogued Fred Bestall's work, which ranges from incisive cartoons for Punch to romantic, dreamy watercolours, as well of course as his Rupert Bear illustrations.  Caroline was also bequeathed his diaries, from which, alongside letters, photographs and other archive material, she has drawn together his life. What emerges is a gentle, very generous man, who was loved by all who met him. His diaries include his experiences in the First World War, and his travel diaries include remarkable journeys to Egypt as well as those of his beloved Wales. His fans are as diverse as Prince Charles, Terry Jones and Terence Stamp.

New in 2008 from Wade Collectables, this delightful set of Rupert and friends Whimsies.  Limited to 2000 editions, these sets have proved highly successful indeed.  They are virtually sold out already to Rupert fans and Wade Whimsie collectors alike.

As is normal with this product, they are very small.  Measuring only 4cm tall (That is 1.5 inches for those still working in old money), please be ultra careful around little Ruperteers, as they are easy to pop in the mouth! Bill's ears are so fine, Wade have left them joined with on the back of his head, so as to prevent them snapping off. 

You are unlikely to find these in any shops, and although they are new, stock is already extemely limited.  Wade Collectables are planning a Money box sometime before Christmas.  when it comes in we will place it in this department. (Please now see above!)

Postage UK £1.50, Europe £1.70 and Rest of the World £2.65

A new venture for our good friends at Flametree, producers of the Calendar and Advent Calendar.  As with those other items the quality of this diary is superb.  Full of lovely Rupert images and set out in a week per view style.  You Ruperteers have been nagging for a diary since the Year Planner in 2006.....so now we have one, lets show that we really wanted one, so Flametree can make another next year! 

The Diary measures 16.5cm by 13cm,(a bit smaller than half a piece of paper that you would put through a printer!), and will fit in your handbag if you are a lady or manbag if you have such a thing.  A great stocking filler for Christmas, birthday gift or a treat for yourself.

Please note you have to be quick to order.  Diaries sell very quickly and there will be no reprints.  These are expected to be gone long before Father Christmas has even contemplated the task ahead.

UK postage £1.00, Europe £2.37 and Rest of the World £3.96
