This book is one Rob’s very best pieces of work, but one which he keeps surprisingly quiet about.

The delightful story is one Rob made up for our children when they were young. When he is cut off by deep snow Mr Hedges cannot make his Christmas tree look as festive as he would wish. But help is at hand from unexpected sources. A Very Berry Christmas is a delightful tale of friendship and kindness, with beautfiul illustrations by Rob Dudley.It celebrates Christmas, friendship and kindliness through a genuinely enchanting story. Some years later he got together with Fitz ( David Fitzgerald), who crafted the story into a form that made the story sing. Rob then created the illustrations in coloured pencil, a long and arduous process ( never to be repeated, he says! ) that resulted in some of the most beautiful artwork he has produced.

The book is available on Amazon, and at Waterstones and Abe Books. I think it is one grandchildren, and Grand Children, would enjoy very much!
