Shepards War is a personal; illustrated narrative of the First World War - seen through the mainly unpublished contemporary drawings; illustrations and written commentary of E. H. Shepard; illustrator of Winnie-the-Pooh.Ernest Howard Shepard was born in London in 1879 into an artistic and literary family; and studied art from an early age. An illustrator and cartoonist; particularly in the period between the First and Second World Wars; he was a political cartoonist for Punch and a prolific illustrator of books. Shepard is most widely known for his illustrations of the Winnie-the-Pooh childrens book series by A. A. Milne and The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame; and these drawings have become classics in their own right; iconic in the minds of children and adults everywhere.With hundreds of original sketches ranging from caricatures of Shepards fellow officers to technical drawings; and commentary from Shepards own wartime notebooks and diaries; this is a unique insight into the life of an incredibly talented yet humble man. On an uniquely visual journey through two vastly different; although often strikingly similar; stories; the reader engages with the Great War and Shepards life on an intimate and thought-provoking level.

I actually went to the old park to see what the State and Warwick are doing with this beautiful piece of property. I will keep it around my family room so others can enjoy it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
