London: , 1987. An Unused/Unpublished Original Pen, Ink and Monotone Drawing From "Christmas 1993 or Santa's Last Ride." LE CAIN, Errol, illustrator. BRICUSSE, Leslie. An unused/unpublished original pen, ink and monotone drawing from "Christmas 1993 or Santa's Last Ride." Image size: 5 1/2 x 11 3/4 inches. Santa on his sleigh, full of gifts, being pulled along by six reindeer. Matted, framed and glazed.

The book was published in 1987 - unfortunately Errol Le Cain died just before the publication date. It was his last work. Errol John Le Cain (5 March 1941 - 3 January 1989) was a British animator and children's book illustrator. He won the… Read More
