Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Keith Michell (illustrator). An absolutely outstanding Fine first edition of Captain Beaky, the charming and now-classic collection of children's poetry written by Jeremy Lloyd and beautifully illustrated by Keith Michell. This is the true original 1976/1977 hardcover issue (Chappell & Company Limited) ? not a later reprint, paperback or annual ? complete with the vibrant rainbow-lettered title page, the full list of 28 poems, red endpapers featuring delicate white line drawings of every animal character, and the original author and illustrator photographs and biographies printed on the final page. The Author ? Jeremy Lloyd Jeremy Lloyd (1930-2014) was a highly acclaimed English writer, screenwriter, poet and actor. He is best known as the co-creator (with David Croft) of two of Britain's most beloved television sitcoms: Are You Being Served? (1972-1985) and 'Allo 'Allo! (1982-1992). After beginning his career as an actor in the 1960s (including appearances in Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In and films such as School for Scoundrels), Lloyd turned to writing. Captain Beaky was a personal passion project; the poems and characters "simply appeared in his head" and he described the book as "the best thing I've ever done" and "the most pure". The verses were later set to music by Jim Parker, resulting in a best-selling album featuring stars including Twiggy, Harry Secombe and Peter Sellers, plus a UK Top 5 hit single. Lloyd was awarded the OBE for services to comedy and literature. The Illustrator ? Keith Michell Keith Michell (1926-2015) was a multi-talented Australian-born actor, stage director, singer and acclaimed watercolour artist. Trained at the Adelaide School of Arts and Crafts, he became one of Britain's leading Shakespearean and musical-theatre performers and is forever remembered for his Emmy-winning portrayal of Henry VIII in the landmark 1970 BBC series The Six Wives of Henry VIII (and its feature-film sequel). He also served as Artistic Director of the Chichester Festival Theatre. Michell's distinctive ink-and-watercolour style perfectly captures the whimsical spirit of Lloyd's poems; the artist had several solo exhibitions of his paintings, and he personally sang several tracks on the Captain Beaky album. The volume contains the complete original collection of poems, including the title piece "Captain Beaky" (with Timid Toad, Reckless Rat, Artful Owl and Batty Bat), "The Ginger Cat", "Dennis the Dormouse", "George the Giraffe", "Herbert the Hedgehog", "The Haggis Season", "Wilfred the Weasel", "Blanche", "Claude the Crab", "My Best Friend" and many more. Every spread features Michell's large, atmospheric illustrations with the dedication page reading: "This book is for three children I'm very fond of ? Sascha, Julian and Anouska Hempel". Condition Fine ? essentially as issued and untouched. The pictorial laminated boards are bright, glossy and completely unmarked with zero rubbing, fading or shelf-wear.

paperback. Condition: Good. Michell, Keith (illustrator). Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
