The Church Mice at Bay ARTWORK SHOWING THE CHASE!

Sampson the cat and the Church Mice pursued - as depicted by Graham Oakley in this witty, quintessentially English story. The original artwork was executed for the illustration found in the published volume that accompanies it; the pen and water colour image is evocative of the 1970s with its chaotic high energy and visual humour as chaos descends on Wortlethorpe. Full of warm humour and intelligent social satire (see the pig-keeping ‘70s Good Life typesin the image) and the illustration bursts with energy and colour.
