The King Penguin series has some real winners doesn’t it? I have an urge which I am fighting to start a small and select collection of these to go with my Picture Puffins

I’m strongly supported in this struggle by OH who thinks I have too many things already.

I particularly like the look of the ones on fungi

I bought a friend a copy of Popular Art in Britain the other year for a friend’s Christmas present and I’ve been regretting giving it to him since!

I have a little collection of these king penguins and this one is probably my favourite, such a great cover and fab subject matter – I’m a fan of toys too!

Hmm, I can’t say I wish you luck in your struggle. Get on collecting them and admit defeat, I say. Remember the Popular Art book regret..

Constantly trying to decide how little a collection constitutes a ‘collection’ here on Shelf Appeal. 2, 3, more?

This is my favourite King Penguin cover also. It was re-worked recently for one of their special ‘ideas’ paperbacks series. I think it was for a George Orwell book, and the penguins were replaced by toads and done in a different colourway (the rest of the series had some fantastic covers too).

I say it again, if only you had a blog where I could see these things..
