VERY RARE SIGNED COPY! For those of you who have been living on Apha Centauri for the last twenty years Mr Woodroffe is one of the greatest surrealists around and is very accomplished both as a writer and an artist with fanatical fans all over the world. He has the distinction of having an incredibly detailed and powerful technique without ever having gone to Art School. Why do I tell you all this? Well, this is the very first book he ever had published and shows the naive but beautiful starting point of his later complex style. It is a 285 x 232 mm hardback 24 page children's book. Half of the pages are given over to full colour early paintings by Patrick that illustrate the story (he's had me trying to work out which one he did first but I haven't guessed right yet!). Patrick's own children were quite young at this time and it was written with them in mind. It was published in 1976 costing a mere £1.95p (printed on the back cover). However, it was a single print run with no follow-up paperback edition and copies never seem to turn up anywhere nowadays so they are very, very rare. We have managed to secure a few copies. So; all you Woodroffe fans with a gap in your book collection can fill it at last!
