Paul Ebdon, an artist based in North Norfolk (UK), has made twenty-eight A3-size paintings (oil on primed paper) to illustrate (and expand) a novella I first drafted in the 1970s and have not previously published. All the images can now be viewed here, as can the novella, which includes links to each of the images at the relevant places in the text. Click on the sidebar at Ebdon-Woodall.
