Details
Quentin Blake (b. 1932)
Kitty-in-Boots, or, Miss Catherine St Quintin
Quentin Blake creates a fabulous protagonist for a long-neglected Beatrix Potter work: The Tale of Kitty-in-Boots. The opening of Potter’s work – written in 1914 and never illustrated by her – introduces us to our heroine (‘Once upon a time there was a serious, well-behaved young black cat’) but all is not as it seems. In fact, Kitty – or Miss Catherine St Quintin, as Kitty herself prefers to be styled – lives a double life, sneaking out at night to go hunting and getting into all sorts of scrapes.
Alternative Version for page 13 of the 2016 edition of The Tale of Kitty-in-Boots by Beatrix Potter.
Pen, ink, watercolour, watercolour paper, signed.
