The Church Mice at Bay - ARTWORK: ARRIVAL OF THE TRENDY VICAR

The arrival of the trendy holiday curate as depicted by Graham Oakley in this witty, quintessentially English story. The original artwork was executed for the illustration found on p.2 of the published volume that accompanies it; the pen and water colour image is wonderfully evocative of the 1970s with its chaotic high energy and visual humour as the stand-in vicar arrives in Wortlethorpe. Full of warm humour and intelligent social satire the illustration bursts with energy and colour.
