P’s & Q’s Grace Gabler page from her Spelling Book, one of the harder to find Puffin Picture Books. It was retro when first published back in 1948 and one of three Puffins she illustrated. There were plans for a hardback edition but it never materialised and now few of the flimsy stapled edition have survived their readers hands, as it should be really. #spelling #spellingbook #gracegabler #noelcarrington #p #q #alphabet #midcenturymodern

P & Q Grace Gabler delightful spread from her Spelling Book, one of three she illustrated for the Puffin Picture Book series during the 1940s. All three of her Puffins are now hunted for by new generations of fans and continue to inspire. She emigrated to South Africa in the early 50s, and sadly seemed to have given up her illustrative work, perhaps another female artist/illustrator exchanging career for her family. #gracegabler #puffin #puffinpicturebook #spellingbook #midcenturymodern #P&Q #noelcarrington
