Sketch from "Alexander the Circus Pony," Phyllis Ginger, 1940-60 The Victoria & Albert Museum |
Well, look, it’s Alexander the Circus Pony! I’m unfamiliar with Alexander the Circus Pony, but if I were a pony I would want that to be my name.
This drawing is by Phyllis Ginger (1907-2005) and was created for the children's story, “Alexander, the Circus Pony.” This book was Miss Ginger’s primary commission from Puffin books in which the entire book, story and illustrations were her own exclusive creation. Published in 1943, the book was quite popular in Britain and has been reprinted many times.
