Over the course of the last two weeks I have been introducing, one by one, the 9 very special characters that make up my Best of British collection, through a series of mini films.

Here I have gathered them all together for you to look through and enjoy at your leisure. Each film is only 1-3 minutes long and is a fun little summary of the story and history behind each character.

Researching and putting this miniseries together emphasized, for me, so many positive things about our culture. Most resounding of which where how these symbols, each in their way, commemorated the inventive, creative, stoically determined and ever adaptable qualities of our British identity. Something we definitely need to bear in mind with all these new changes afoot!

I very much hope you enjoy them and if you feel inspired to share with me your thoughts, especially as to which is your favourite, I always welcome your feedback in the comments below.

In celebration of this collection I am also running a very special promotion of 25% off all the paintings, art prints and greetings cards in this series. This offer ends on the 15th December so do take advantage whilst you can!
