Hi everyone,

Please note my new e-mail address

A new website:

http://members.aol.com/nickardizz/homena.htm

is now established. This provides links to:

http://members.aol.com/tedardizz/homeea.htm

This carries useful information for students of my father EDWARD ARDIZZONE RA
(1900-1979) including a concise biography, two bibliographies and various
other information that I hope will be useful to students/researchers/veterans
of WWII.

Some institutional biographies I have seen are  out of date and contain some
inaccuracies. The concise biography is authoritative: institutions are welcome
to to make links to it, quote it or copy it without reference back to me, but
with a credit please.


THE 'LITTLE TIM" BOOKS

Plans for the republication of the entire 10 titles are well advanced.
SCHOLASTIC PRESS of London intend to issue the first 4 titles around October
1999.

All titles are being re-originated, but we are missing one set of originals,
those for

'Tim and Ginger'

written and illustrated by my father Edward Ardizzone.The book was published
by Oxford University Press in 1965.

The originals were said to have been sold  to an American university sometime
in the 1970s, but no one in the family, nor our agent, has any record as to
which one. I was living abroad at the time of the transaction, so was never
aware of it and, although I have the majority of the family papers, I can find
no reference to it.

The complete lack of positive response since I broadcast this a month or so
ago makes me think that it it as at least possible that the drawings went to a
private buyer, were split up, and sold on. To locate just one one colour plate
would greatly assist the re-origination. All information gratefully
received!!!!!

I am sorry if thie unannounced address change caught anyone out, but it became
urgent because of MASSIVE problems with the Compuserve software. Please note
