Penny Dale is one of the best-loved picture artists working today. With a string of best-selling books to her name she is perhaps best known for her Ten in the Bed series of which the first was an international best-seller placing Penny firmly on the global illustration map. With nearly 2 million copies sold of this title alone, the book has been, heralded as one of the most popular picture books of recent decades. This year sees the 25th anniversary of its publication by Walker Books in 1988.

To celebrate this auspicious event we are delighted to host an exhibition of this original artwork. All the published work will be on display here at the gallery alongside the entire matching series of working drawings and other reference material, and to further add to the excitement Penny has kindly agreed to offer these original page spreads for sale to enthusiasts and collectors. Regarded as the highlight of her oeuvre this presents a truly exciting opportunity to acquire these fantastic original paintings, as fresh in colour and life as they were when first created in 1988.

We are honoured to be hosting a special afternoon with Penny Dale, and warmly invite all our gallery friends and families to join us for some summer fun. Penny will be here at the gallery to meet our visitors and sign copies of the specially produced 25th Anniversary edition of Ten in the Bed. There will also be readings and refreshments all afternoon. No booking required, families most welcome.
