Mabel Alleyne

In 1926 the Saint Loup Press, San Remo, published an edition of 100 copies of Nursery Rhymes, written and illustrated by Alleyne with hand coloured wood engravings.

In the 1930s she wrote, illustrated and printed The Angry Cheese and Other Queer Fancies; this was a very Private Press production with some 18 wood engravings, some hand coloured.

She also presented to her friend Elizabeth Rivers a hand printed illustrated poem entitled Ethne.

She produced a colour dust jacket for The Way the World is Going (1928) by H. G. Wells, colour illustrations for Ivor Macleod's The Old Views and the New Vision (1929) and illustrations for The Singing Farmer: a translation of Vergil's "Georgics" (1947).
