Mister Peebles

Mister Peebles is the man with the animals, he meets them on his world travels. He is quite a shy sort of chap and while at home prefers to sit in his chair, drink tea and read tales. Helen McGinley draws his animals, keeps the teapot filled and listens to his stories. The watercolour illustrations often feature puns or sayings that centre around animals and their adventures. You can read our interview with Helen on the blog. 

Mister Peebles exhibited at Of Cabbages and Kings in 2015 with the show Here, Bear and Everywhere, a new collection of creatures all off on adventures. Find out more about the show here.
