Suffolk Artist Publishes Illustrated Book
Winter 2008 issue

In October Suffolk artist Brian Whelan published ‘King Edmund - Casket of Wonders’, a book written by Tim Holt Wilson and illustrated by Brian. The story traces the closely-woven threads of fact and fable around Edmund's life and martyrdom, and the fascinating religious cult which once made him the patron saint of England. Visit Brian Whelan's Website for a closer look.

'This painting is alive with the brilliance of faith.
We know that fallen acorns will grow into new trees;
this death cannot be an ending.'
Sister Wendy Beckett, on Whelan's 'Martyrdom of St. Edmund'
