Margaret Wells was born in Perthshire in 1909. She first studied at the Glasgow School of Art then became a pupil of Leon Underwood at Brook Green School of Art in London. Primarily a wood engraver, she also produced bold lino cuts. Elected an Honorary Member of the Society of Wood Engravers in 1995 she is best known for exhibitions at the Royal Academy in London.
This Picture Book, first put together in 1989, is one of the few published collections of her work and includes 19 delightful illustrations including five depictions of scenes from the Twelve days of Christmas.
This vintage edition includes JL Carr's Kettering address on the inside rear cover and is described as number 95 in the series. Unfortunately, the binding staple has rusted and affected the centre page.
Margaret Wells - No.95 Edition
Publication Essentials
Publication Essentials
Pocket-sized at 13 x 9.5cm (5 x 3.5" in old money) and comprising 16 pages with a firm card cover. This little volume is just one in the series of Carr's Pocket Books; they hover between a greeting and a present and make a lasting alternative to a birthday card. In cold bedrooms, only one hand need suffer exposure. A distinguished novelist recommends them for reading in the bath and an ambassador claims they can be palmed from the cuff during tedious speeches or profitless sermons.Delivery Information

Special Editions
By virtue of their very nature some of our Special Editions are in vintage condition. For signed Maps this may mean the corners have been slightly bent or there is some minor discolouration along the edge; any issues should be resolved when the Map is mounted and framed. Early edition Pocket Books may have minor marks to the cover or edges; they could be considered ‘very good’ second-hand condition. Any specific damage beyond age appropriate wear and tear will be listed in the item description.
