Escapade

by John S. Goodall

In a charming pastiche of eighteenth-century silhouettes, using the half-pages that he devised for his popular Paddy Pork series, Mr Goodall tells a decoratively sentimental tale of a lost canary that will enchant all who know his Edwardian books.

About the author

John S. Goodall (7 June 1908 – 2 June 1996) was a British author, watercolour painter and illustrator, best known for his wordless picture books such as The Adventures of Paddy Pork, although his output included more conventional pictures, and illustrations for a wide range of publications (including the Radio Times) and books by the "fictitious village schoolmistress Miss Read". Goodall became one of England's most beloved artists due to the subject matter of his works, the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
