Description

Coo-coo tackles sharply clawed cats and an immense hawk, before being baffled by giant deafening aeroplanes and fish-like barrage balloons at pigeon training. He then travels to Africa and meets foreign bird-cousins and monkeys crossing the desert, until one day, when without warning, he is stuck in the heart of the fighting and forced to make the perilous journey back. The Pigeon Ace is published, along with The Little White Bear and Fifty-four Conceits,to coincide with the exhibition 'Ravilious & Co: The Pattern of Friendship' at the Towner Art Gallery in Eastbourne, opening May 2017.

Author Biography:

Enid Marx, FRSA (1902-1998) was an English painter and designer, who studied at the Royal College of Art at the same time as Eric Ravilious and Edward Bawden, under the tutelage of Paul Nash. Once living in Hampstead, she started her own studio designing textiles - ultimately being chosen by the London Passenger Transport Board to design the fabrics for the seats of the London buses and underground. She designed book covers for the likes of Penguin, and wrote and illustrated her own. Marx eventually became Head of Department of Dress, Textiles and Ceramics at Croydon College of Art. With her partner, Margaret Lambert, she developed a unique collection of British folk art, which is now on display at Compton Verney Art Gallery near Stratfordupon-Avon.
