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

“When it got late and the fire burnt low, they went to bed with their whiskers singed and smelling of wood smoke, but very happy.” From “Orlando The Marmalade Cat: A Camping Holiday” by Kathleen Hale. Man, picture books were different in 1938! This one has zero plot and many weird tangents, but my 3yo loves it. ~ #orlandothemarmaladecat #kathleenhale #orlandothemarmaladecatacampingholiday #vintagepicturebook #picturebook #kidlit #childrensfiction #picturebookillustration #picturebooks #picturebookstagram #childrensbook #kidlitart #picturebooksofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CIOnY01HmE0/?igshid=3lvgv712evyr

#WTFWednesday - Would you buy a stalker's book and encourage that behavior?

#WTFWednesday – Would you buy a stalker’s book and encourage that behavior?

Kathleen Hale’s book, Kathleen Hale is a Crazy Stalker will be released by Grove Atlanticthis June and I’m having a hard time finding humor in the scenario. I don’t care how “hilarious” her six essays promise to be. Grove Atlantic states the book is, “From a fresh gonzo American voice, a captivating and hilarious collection of essays unlike anything you’ve ever read before, exploring sexual…

“If I could, I would hug the whole world, and even the rainbows would be my friends! . . . I guess those cookies really are taking effect.”

Despite popular opinion, I loved No One Else Can Have You.

Was it perfect? No.

Was it the next literary genius novel? No.

But it was fucking fun, and silly, and I laughed so hard. I kept taking pictures of the funny parts and forcing them on others while I was reading it. Of course, out of context most of the replies were, "What the fuck are you reading?!", but that's really part of the fun.

Kippy Bushman, oh my...Kippy was a mess. She was far from being a perfect heroine; she was neurotic.

She was...

Clumsy.

Awkward.

"Ardent"

(In case you weren't sure, the zombie is representative of Kippy. Oh, poor Kippy.)

Kippy is smart as shit, awkward, damaged, weird, and I rooted for her hardcore.

The story was a little slow at times, and the supporting characters and fuckery that ensued was frustrating as all hell - but it was supposed to be. Kippy finds herself trapped in the middle of a town that would rather convict the wrong person in her best friend's murder, so they can go back to pretending it never happened, than to actually find the real murderer.

Toss in some psychobabble from her head shrinker father, Dommy, a mental health support group full of whacky characters, and a stint in the looney bin - and you've got a ridiculous, quirky murder mystery that made me laugh (and snort) out loud.

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. Gorgeous autolithograph by Hale for her wartime book for Transatlantic Arts, printed at Cowell’s in 1943. Look at that shadow! #kathleenhale #mrsfoster #henriettathefaithfulhen #autolithography #cowells

Orlando pa Cirkus Kathleen Hale A little oddity for Kathleen Hale fans. Here's a Swedish edition of Orlando's Home Life, printed at Cowell's, at sometime between 1941-46, as the Orlandos were printed by Royle's after that. I wish I knew more about why a Swedish edition was printed during the war. One thought is that Sweden's neutrality allowed the export of this title. #orlando #kathleenhale #cowells #lithography #cats_of_instagram

The Swallow Tail Richard (Dickie) Chopping Chopping was to find fame via his covers for Fleming's James Bond books but his first love was for plants and garden life. He studied under Cedric Morris, a significant influence, there befriending Lucien Freud & Denis Wirth-Miller, and also Kathleen Hale. Hale introduced Chopping to Noel Carrington who commissioned him for this wartime Puffin, Butterflies in Britain, one of the series best-sellers. #richardchopping #swallowtail #butterfly #cedricmorris #lucienfreud #francesbacon #deniswirth-miller #kathleenhale #puffinpicturebook #noelcarrington
