A collectible illustrated children's book with significant value due to its illustrator. Mary Fedden RA (1915-2012) was one of the most celebrated British painters of the 20th century â a Royal Academician who studied at the Slade and later taught at the Royal College of Art when David Hockney was a student. Her paintings, with their singing colour and apparently effortless simplicity, are held in major public and private collections and sell at auction for significant sums. This picture book, with its bold and vibrant original artwork by Fedden, is an increasingly sought-after collectible. Current AbeBooks listings from USD $49 for used copies. Based on a true story about Motley, a tiger-striped cat who finds his home through patience and magic.
