I added to my collection of Gerald Rose and yesterday received a 1958 copy of 'How St Francis Tamed The Wolf'. So happy to have another book by this wonderful partnership. Gerald Rose's illustrations continue to be among my favorites and I love it when I get the opportunity to see more of his wonderful work. 

Gerald Rose and Edward Lear III

A lovely illustration of a nest of fledglings, very economical with detail and perfectly capturing those hungry mouths by Gerald Rose, from The Dong with a Luminous Nose and Other Poems by Edward Lear 1969.
As the birds are busying around because of the arrival of spring in the Northern hemisphere, a timely reminder to pop out some nesting materials for them off cuts of wool, ect and give them a hand. Have a great weekend.
