Opening this week at The Forbes Gallery in New York is a magnificent new exhibition of the work of legendary caricaturist Ronald Searle. The exhibit features the original drawings that illustrate Overlook's new children's book by Robert L. Forbes, Beastly Feasts: A Mischievious Menagerie in Rhyme, and a retrospective of Searle's career, "Ronald Searle: A Lifetime of Drawing." The exhibition is on display September 19, 2007 - March 15, 20008. One of the great illustrators of our generation, Searle's amazing cartoons of the St.Trinian's boarding school will be collected in a new book published by The Rookery Press in January 2008, coinciding with the major motion picture release of St. Trinians's, starring Rupert Everett, Mischa Barton, and Colin Firth.
