Description
Illustration to the poem 'Mr Minnitt' by Rose Fyleman

"Mr Minnitt mends my soles
When I have walked them into holes.
He works in such a funny place
And has a wrinkly, twinkly face.

His hands are brown and hard and thin.
His thread goes slowly out and in.
He cannot walk without a crutch -
I like him very, very much."

A lost art in many respects is the shoe cobbler and the repairs they'd do.  Used to be that shoes would last for a long long time.  Very nice that this illustrates the patience it took for quality work to be accomplished.

Nice. I love this style of drawing which is a mix of precise and loose.
