Almost ten years after it's reprint by Little Toller, I now have a copy of 'Twit and Howlet and the Balloon by Barbara Jones', so I can share many more of the wonderful pen drawings.
While the family argue about the colour on the TV little Twit and Howlet are inspired to build a hot air balloon, and after raiding the library for instructions and then the attic and store they manage to utilised a disused cat trap as a basket and make a patchwork balloon.
Then they set off on a great balloon race. . .
and win!
On they're return with the trophy their family are still arguing about the TV picture, in these times it is a reminder of what can be achieved when you remove yourself from distractions.
