What is The Beryl Cook: the bumper edition about?

Beryl Cook's wonderful paintings first burst upon an unsuspecting world in 1922, with exhibitions in Plymouth and London. Her first book - 'The Works' - followed shortly afterwards, and since then she has kept us entertained with a constant stream of joyful images. Eight books have now been published, and all the paintings in those books have now been collected in 'The Bumper Edition'. Beryl paints anything and everything she sees around her - visits to shops and pubs, family and friends, travels round Britain and abroad, and quite a few subjects she would like to have seen, but has had to imagine instead, such as Elvis's flight to heaven, and a motley crew of fairies. Beryl Cook has been described as 'Britain's most popular living artist', and in this bumper collection it is easy to see why - she has an astonishing ability to enter into life around her and capture it for us with a unique mixture of sympathetic warmth and acute observation. In these pictures we can fully appreciate her sense of enjoyment in the individuality of ordinary lives.
