"New World for Nellie," 1952

New World for Nellie follows a "rusty old engine called Nellie" and its driver, Albert Funnel, and guard-fireman-and-porter, Frederick Firedoor, on an adventure across the ocean, away from their forgotten corner of England. Rowland Emett, renowned for his colorful and intricate drawings of fantastical machines that he later brought to life as sculptures, authored and illustrated this magical and whimsical story.
