5/30/2023 0 Comments Mr bear peace at lastHer father had a talent for drawing that he shared with Jill, regularly slipping illustrated notes into her school lunchbox, and her mother - previously a librarian in the Harrods lending library - had wanted to be a writer and did much to encourage Jill (while still at school Jill made her own library of hand-written and illustrated books to share with her friends). Jill Murphy (1949 – 2021) was born in Surrey. Murphy’s art, each print telling its own story, makes beautiful framed prints for children’s bedrooms or nurseries. Jill Murphy’s The Bear Family series of books comprise wonderfully warm and relatable stories, Murphy’s acute observation of family life delighting both children and adults alike. Jill Murphy's bestselling classic certainly resonates with tired parents who are all too familiar with the plight of poor Mr Bear… With a snoring Mrs Bear, an excitable Baby Bear and a house full of tapping and dripping and ticking, peace is hard to come by – will Mr Bear ever get a decent night's sleep? In Peace at Last we meet the delightful Bear family for the very first time. It’s been an honour collaborating with the Jill Murphy Estate, bringing a collection of prints from the much-loved Bear Family to life for the very first time.
