Orlando’s Evening Out Kathleen Hale Orlando and Grace Visit the circus and inevitably Orlando is caught up in the performances. Hale’s wonderful creation was turned down by every publisher until Noel Carrington spotted the potential and the marmalade cat is now part of our psyche. This copy was gifted to me by @lesleybarnes and there’ll be a Design For Today project with Lesley coming your way. #orlando #kathleenhale #thecircus #noelcarrington #lesleybarnes https://www.instagram.com/p/BskaEbjgOXg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u9qqjgsxlafp

Cold jellied soup, prawns and an omelette surprise ... Kathleen Hale Lithograph from Orlando, A Trip Abroad, published in 1943 by Country Life. Hale and Noel Carrington struck a deal to alternate her Orlando titles between Puffin& Country Life during the war when the huge success of Puffin helped to sell the larger Country Life titles. #kathleenhale #orlando #catsofinstagram #noelcarrington #french

Henrietta the Faithful Hen Kathleen Hale autolithograph from her 1943 book for Transatlantic Arts. Hale struggled to escape from her success with the Orlando titles but her other books such as Manda, and Henrietta are well worth a look. Last night I was intrigued to discover from @michaelparkinfineart that other unfinished books exist, all rejected by publishers who only wanted another Orlando. She contributed a memorable episode to Desert Island Discs, which is still available to download. #kathleenhale #orlando #henrietta #hen #autolithography #cowells #desertislanddiscs

Mrs Fowler Kathleen Hale The impoverished Mrs Fowler who lived in a tumble-down cottage with her faithful hen, Henrietta.
