A Celebration of the 50th anniversary of My Family and Other Animals and a selling exhibition of original artwork by Paul Cox.

To mark the 50th anniversary of the publication of Gerald Durrell’s extraordinary and entertaining memoir, the Folio Society has produced a beautifully bound and slip cased edition with 65 masterfully evocative illustrations by Paul Cox.

Paul’s energy and inventiveness have made his recognisable style familiar on both sides of the Atlantic over the last twenty-five years, with his work appearing regularly in numerous magazines and newspapers including the Spectator, The Sunday Times, Punch, Vanity Fair and the New Yorker. As a book illustrator, his career has been equally prolific. His witty draughtsmanship has enhanced the charm of such humorous classics as Experiences of an Irish RM, Leave it to Psmith, Three Men in a Boat, The Wind in the Willows and all eleven volumes of P G Wodehouse’s Jeeves and Wooster novels for the Folio Society. Paul’s other commissions have also included stamp designs for Royal Mail, set designs for the 50th anniversary production of the musical Salad Days and a mural for the lecture theatre at the Royal College of Surgeons. He travels widely as a painter and has had three solo shows at the Chris Beetles Gallery in London.
