Painter and Poet No. 1 (1970)

An illustrated version of Twa Corbies made as the BFI’s contribution to the Festival of Britain. Enlivened by the distinctive voice of John Laurie, and paired with Michael Rothenstein’s delightfully textured drawings. Followed by Shakespeare’s Spring and Winter, sung by Peter Pears, with illustrations by Meryn “Gormenghast” Peake.
