Since the manuscript was first submitted to mainstream publishers, however, for political reasons it was nearly withdrawn. Fortunately, Joe Hartwell loves wild animals and is determined to help stop all blood sports, and felt the best way of doing this was to give one fox, Farley, a voice, so that he could tell a story from the foxes’ viewpoint. Hartwell feels now that Hunted Down is not only a children’s story, but is an account of events that are based on carefully researched details, and therefore an enlightening story for people of all ages.
Lorraine Sadler (Illustrator)
Lorraine Sadler is a professional artist, and has had a collection of her drawings published as Limited Edition Giclee prints. In July 2002 a drawing of hers won the Joyce Chaffin Memorial Scroll as part of Roy Chaffin’s annual ‘Paint A Wildlife Subject’ competition. She’s a member of The Wildlife Art Society and The Natural World Art Group.
While Joe Hartwell was working on Hunted Down, he noticed some of Lorraine’s work in wildlife magazines. So impressed he decided to contact the artist. He then asked her to illustrate his book.
He’s now working on another book, Mysterious Ways, and has a further fox story in the pipeline. He hopes that Lorraine will be working with him again on these.
EPS Graphics (Scanning)
With such fine drawings, extremely proficient people were required to reproduce correct colour and detail. For this we are grateful to Nigel and Kevin of EPS Graphics in Bedford.view less
