A brand new “Ivor the Engine” story |
The first in over thirty years, is now launched after a unique collaboration between Ivor’s co-creator, Peter Firmin and Dan Postgate, son of the late Oliver Postgate who wrote the original Ivor stories. With brand new illustrations by Peter Firmin and words by Dan Postgate, “Bluebell’s Christmas Mission” is set in a snow-bound Wales on Christmas Day, and will benefit SPANA’s work. SPANA provides free veterinary care to working animals like donkeys, mules and horses in some of the poorest countries of the world, and it’s fitting that the new story sees a central role for Bluebell the donkey, who figured prominently in the original Ivor stories. You can buy the book for £3 or send it as an E-card. www.spana.org The SPANA Team other information |
