It epitomises the golden age of childhood and of English
summers as we once knew them.
Eileen Soper's Illustrated Worlds found on Poole Quay, next to Poole Pottery,
bringing childhood to life,
featuring illustrations of such literary treasures as The Famous
Five, The Secret Seven, Alice in Wonderland and many more...
The sun always shone whenever the Famous Five went on holiday
and now it's possible to relive those sunny stories at a new
exhibition dedicated to Eileen Soper who drew the pictures for
all 21 of Enid Blyton's Famous Five books. Eileen Soper also
illustrated Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland and
Robert Louis Stevenson's A Child's Garden Of Verses as
well as several books from Elizabeth Gould.
