Rupert MacTweed, seen here looking resplendent in his rugby shirt, is an artist’s assistant
. He is a great inspiration to Pamela while she is working on the artwork for Fairy Teatime Tales. He finds things on walks that end up in the stories, feathers are his speciality. He found a beautiful pheasant’s feather on the very day this picture was in production, awaiting the feather to be added. Sticks are another of his great finds and important for wand illustrations.
I am sure Rupert is a magician as he seems to magically find what is needed to help the work progress. I know he is also saying thank you with these gifts, for the lovely long walks he is taken on. As you can see from his pictures he is the epitome of a gallant gentleman.
When Pamela and Rupert come home from their walks one of the fist things Pamela does is make a pot of tea. Working together over the years, Pamela and I have learned that we have a lot in common, a love of tea, a love of the country side and a great respect for the magical talents of Rupert MacTweed.
