The British seem to have a talent for giving little animals a story of their own especially during the time period between the Great Wars. “The Speckledy Hen” written by Alison Uttley and illustrated by Margaret Tempest is a wonderful example of a lovey children’s story for the ages. This copy was published by Collins, 14 St. James Place, London and is a Fifth Impression published in April 1951 (the First Impression was published in December 1945). Part of the Little Grey Rabbit series it was one in the series that began in 1929 and continued publication until the series ended in 1975. As with most of Uttley’s 100 books many are now out of print – some surmise because she had multiple illustrators and multiple publishers. Uttley’s books are all about community and the characteristics you would find in a place like rural Derbyshire where she grew up. Alison Uttley (1884 – 1976) was a woman of contrast. Born in Cromford, England she developed a love of science which led to a scholarship to Manchester University to read physics. In 1906 she became only the second woman honours graduate of the university (today there is a physics prize named after her). She was a woman of science yet believed in fairies and time travel which led to one of her most popular works in 1939 A Traveler in Time. She was also a woman with a tragic life – her husband committed suicide in 1930 which may have started her writing career and her only son committed suicide two years after her death. Yet her children books are classic tales “that are homely, reassuring, funny books” that are finding a new audience with children today. British illustrator and author Margaret Tempest (1892 – 1982) while best known for her illustration of the Little Grey Rabbit series was also the author and illustrator of the Pinkie Mouse and Curly Cobbler stories. Born in Ispswich, Suffolk she lived there most of her life. In 1914 she attended the Westminster School of Art and afterward co-founded the Chelsea Illustrators Club with 17 other woman illustrators. For 20 years from 1919 to 1939 they put on annual exhibitions and ran a successful commercial business selling their work and producing commercial material. She illustrated the Little Grey Rabbit series from 1929 to until the 1960’s by which time there were over 34 titles. Her other great passion was sailing around the Suffolk coast and was elected the Commodore of the Pin Mill Sailing Club. Sadly her later years were impacted by Parkinson’s disease which prevented her from drawing.
