It was only a matter of time before Lorette came up with a book about boats - so here it is, in her instantly recognisable style and colours!  You will find some historic references, sketches/paintings of the icons in Victoria Harbour, yachts big/small, the usual busy working vessels, many varieties of large/small river boats, many beautifully decorated ….. plus of course, the ropes, floats, fenders and anchors that are always nearby.

This book is spiced with Lorette’s hand-written notes of interesting trivia, facts discovered in her research and comments about the boats.

In common with all her books, this does not claim to be a reference tome but it is one that endeavours to conjure up memories and to trigger the imagination. For example, just what does Charlotte Dundas have to do with tugboats? and where would you put a ‘long button’? …..and, by the way, whilst floating through the pages, don’t forget to spot her little snails – one on every Page!

Lorette E. Roberts (A4 Landscape with high quality paper). The spiral binding allows it to lie flat.

Lorette invites us to use the book as a sketchbook, scrapbook or travelogue and provides - alongside her own images - guidelines/tips on sketching.

The book is divided into sections, indicated by coloured strips on the edge of each right hand page. These sections include: Chinese New Year, Celebrations, Traditional Hong Kong, Nature (of course!) and ships.

Not just another book about Hong Kong- with its delightful and colourful sketches and paintings, it aids and abets the current craze to “colour something in”!

These jotters become an indispensable part of the household,  staying put and in full view on your refrigerator door.

Decorated by familiar scenes by Lorette, they are made in the UK of melamine with a magnetic backing. There are two sizes and both come supplied with a whiteboard pen and holder that stays in place on the board.
