Gott skick. Skyddsomslag saknas. Hare was lolloping quietly over a field one day when he spotted a lady sitting on a stool and she was busy with a white book and a black box. He wondered what she was doing. She saw Hare looking at her and she incorporated him in the picture that she was painting.

Soon afterwards she stretched, put her book on a rock and departed for her lunch, letting her picture dry in the meantime. So Hare went across to have a look, liked what he saw and tucked the sketch book under his arm and dashed off to Little Grey Rabbit's house where he and Squirrel were sewing.

Hare proudly showed the sketch book he had found and they critically examined all the paintings. And when Milkman Hedgehog called the next day, she was given a look at the pictures before telling Hare that he should take the book back. First he wanted to show Moldy Warp the mole and did so. Moldy told Hare that he could paint if he wished.

Hare showed the book to Speckled Hen and Fuzzypeg and then the Fox and Wise Owl, the latter who added his own picture to the sketch book. And each time Hare told them he was going to be an artist, each of the animals contributed a part of their plumage for him to make a brush of. Hare eventually put the book back where he had found it.

Wise Owl also created a paint box for Grey Rabbit and Squirrel so that they could paint, too. And they all painted their own pictures that they then showed to their friends; some were understood, others were not but they were all delighted to at being an artist!
