: The Cuckoo by Alfred Bestall


The Cuckoo by Alfred Bestall

Series of humorous illustrations showing a young girl, full of energy and optimism as she models her new hiking outfit, and then chatting to neighbours as she passes on her walk, but miserable wet weather in June makes her change her tune and by August she has packed her suitcases and is heading for a more civilised holiday by train. A typical theme for the 1930s when the craze of hiking was at its peak
