Arthur J. Elsley was the most popular 'chocolate box' artist of the late Victorian and Edwardian period; over 150 of his works were reproduced as prints. Long dismissed by art historians, this genre now demands reappraisal as an important aspect of Victorian art. Its appealing qualities are extremely accessible, presenting a comfortable, idealized world of clean, smiling children that has brought pleasure to millions.
Terry Parker has interviewed Elsley's only child and principal model, whose reminiscences and anecdotes bring his work to life. Her archive of photographs of Elsley's studio and models, together with his address book, provide rare insight into the workings of this artist.
Auction houses have witnessed an astronomical rise in the popularity of Elsley's oil paintings in the last ten years: one piece sold for $220,000.00 in 1996. Modern greeting card, calendar and print companies remain eager to reproduce his images, which are still found on a wide variety of products.

Why did God make this amazing announcement to a family of shepherds? This story offers one possible answer to that question. Ten year old twins Samuel and Hannah live their lives helping their five older brothers tend the family's sheep in the hills around the small village of Bethlehem. One night an angel appears to Samuel in a dream with a cryptic message that the twins struggle to understand. After a long day, the twins are awakened in the field to see the heavenly pronouncement of the birth of the Messiah in their own town of Bethlehem. How does Samuel's dream help his brothers solve the problem of locating the manger where the Angel said the baby was born? And what special blessing awaits them there? As with the author's previous works, A Shepherd's Christmas Story features a character that has a disability

THE FIRST EVER COLLECTION OF ONE OF THE LEADING PIN-UP ARTISTS OF THE 20TH CENTURY! David Wright's illustrations epitomise female glamour in the 1940s and 50s; a beautiful and elegant collection of his original and previously unpublished paintings. David Wright was one of the leading pin-up artists of the 20th Century. Unlike his American contemporaries Alberto Vargas and Gil Elvgren, the British-born Wright brought a sense of realism to his willowy beauties, who appeared in publications on both sides of the Altantic, especially during WW2. Now, finally, access has been granted to his archive, and this is the first ever collection of his work.
