Boy with a Dolphin

Tomorrow sees the launch of David Elliott’s long-awaited book on the life and art of David Wynne, Boy with a Dolphin.

David is a distinguished member of the Quartet family, and has been my most consistent partner in crime for more than three decades. Even when he left us for a short period of time to flutter his own wings, he remained nevertheless a staunch and loyal supporter of Quartet and kept in touch throughout his sabbatical misadventure.

(A young David Elliott, in his heyday as a bookseller, with John Lennon.)

Returning to the fold three years ago, his enthusiasm for Quartet has not withered; in fact, it gained momentum.

Let us therefore wish him all the success for this latest endeavour and urge our friends as well as our enemies to support him by buying a copy of his book, in recognition of his great contribution to publishing.
