The Old Boy in the BogDoomed by an ancient curse he stumbled into one day many years ago, the Old Boy must spend his days ankle-deep in the mucky bog of the Western Ridings. However, to make his existence more pleasant he was given a tiny companion to keep him company — to sing to him, to bring him provisions, and to tell him of the world outside of the bog. Her name is Ezmydryanlo, which translates loosely as "one who is petrified silly by heights and mud." Oh, and she can't sing, either.

| Bill Nelson and
Tom Banwell are pleased to introduce their latest limited edition
creation The Old Boy in the Bog. The Old Boy embodies all of
the whimsy and charm of Bill's characters combined with the
artistic details of Tom, who has sculpted the fairy and created the
base and the costuming. The bog is a sight to behold as are the
handmade leather shoes tied around the Old Boy's neck. Decorating
the white cultured marble base are engravings taken from three
illustrations by Bill of the Old Boy (two of them showing in the
photo) and sinking into the bog is a scroll with the tale told
above. Approximately 19" tall, The Old Boy in the Bog was limited to fifteen pieces. Sold Out. Copyright ©1998 Nelson & Banwell |
