A return to London Zoo on Saturday, 26 years post-publication of 'The Monkeys' Dream' showed us monkeys enjoying the freedom of the 1960s landmark aviary. We joined them. Other animals now also have new green spaces. The possibility of eye contact, that had first drawn me to draw animals in what were mostly confined spaces, still exists. 


Now that their natural habitats changing more dramatically, come and turn the pages of 'Everything Changes' in progress at the Oxford Fine Press Book Fair this weekend. 


Leonie loved to see the architecture of the aviary again and, of course, Lubetkin's now empty modernist Penguin House. Turn the pages of her colourful homage to the new town of Milton Keynes and other books inspired by cities at the fair.
