A beguiling collection of over 40 projects based on children's favorite characters: many of them never previously adapted for cross stitching.

Adele Welsby has applied her considerable talent to adapting some of the best-loved characters from books and videos for cross stitching fun. There's the hugely popular and irrepressible Wallace and Gromit; the Large Family, a group of elephants who echo the triumphs and disasters of everyday family life; gentle Percy the Park Keeper and his many animal friends; the self sufficient community of mice who inhabit Brambly Hedge; the imaginative Harry with his dinosaurs; and the bright and cheerful Little Misses and Mr Men.

Each design is finished off in a unique way offering a wonderful source of ideas for creating gifts for new parents, children of all ages and simply the young at heart.
