RIP Raymond Briggs 😢✝️👼🏽🙏😇

[@EgoShredder]

Loved his books as a child in the 1970s.

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

His work was incredible. His books fired my interest in reading as a kid in the 1970's. I loved the Father Christmas books and later When The Wind Blows as a teenager. A brilliant, authentic artist and author. Thank you for all the amazing books Raymond.

Tudo de uma delicadeza ímpar! Terminei de assistir "Ethel e Ernest", (Netflix). Buscarei por mais obras dele. Esta já fascina pela memorável e amorosa maneira de descrever a passagem deles pela Terra. É um belo trabalho também e... Viva a ARTE!

If you only take one thing from this interview: Boglet, an 18th century word for handkerchief.

[@joeakajoe1]

Sounds to me like he said 'muckend'. "It's appropriate because that's where all the muck ends up"

[@everynewdayisablessing8509]

@@joeakajoe1 while he did say the word boglet, it is indeed muckend which he explained is the word for a hankie. We just read Beatrix Potter's Miss Tiggy-Winkle story to our kids, and in it she used the word handkin for the same article, so it looks like handkerchief changed its name quite a bit over the years.

[@hasbook7156]

Well it is probably over 40 years old.

God loved the world so much He gave His only Son that whosoever believeth on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Sorry for your loss. God loves everyone.
