Rupert the Bear, in his red jersey, yellow check trousers and scarf, is instantly recognizable and is a time-honored classic-loved and cherished by generation of children and adults.
He first appeared in the Daily Express on the 8th November, 1920, in the story ‘Little Lost Bear’, where ha was beautifully depicted by his creator, the talented artist and illustrator, Mary Tourtel. She very soon introduced other well loved characters such as Algy Pug, Bill Badger and Edward Trunk.
In 1935 Mary Tourtel retired and was replaced by Alfred Bestall, whose wonderful imagination inspired many new characters and the world of Nutwood we recognize, dragons, palaces and pirates all appear in a timeless round of action and adventure stories.
The Rupert Collection from Lledo is a highly collectable range of die-cast vehicles depicting Rupert and some of his best-known friends. See more
