` During the Second World War, I worked in an empty building by the Thames. It had been used by the Thames Conservancy Board. When war came, they moved out & I was moved in. I stayed there for most of the war. I never went down to an air raid shelter. I was too busy trying to make people laugh about wartime bread & sausages, instead of crying about them.` Mabel Lucie Attwell Mabel Lucie Attwell was one of Britain`s best-loved artists with her work touching generations, from those who grew up with her classic characters, Bunty & the Boo-Boos, to those who have read Charles Kingsley`s The Water Babies, which she famously illustrated. Her art has found its way into homes across the world through figurines, bathroom plaques & gift cards featuring her charming designs. Yet, many of her most poignant & humorous illustrations were created to cheer a world at war. She painted prolifically throughout the First & Second World Wars, with postcards featuring her child-like characters & tongue-in-cheek captions that were typical of her saucy sense of humour. Despite suffering loss & hardship herself during the wars she continued to encourage people to `smile through the tears`. This book which brings a collection of her wartime postcards together exclusively for the first time, pays tribute to the indomitable spirit of this incredible woman & to her art that cannot fail to make you smile today for young & old alike. ...

- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.
