The Circus is Coming. Puffin Story Book no 96. Cover Illustration by Clarke Hutton who was head of Lithography at The Central School of Art (now in Granary Square) and who lithographed several of the Puffin Picture Books too. His partnership with author Noel Streatfeild was fruitful too, illustrating the wonderful Harlequinade for Chatto, as well as this Puffin. I'm posting the first 100 Puffin Story books, in descending order, to celebrate their 75th Birthday year. #nuffinlikeapuffin #75puffinyears #clarkehutton #thecircusiscoming #noelstreatfeild #puffinbooks

Puffin Story Books (1941-2016) 75 Puffin Years.
