Here is the third and final part of a favourite childhood story of mine, The Magic Paintbrush, adapted by Fran Hunia from the traditional Chinese tale in 1979, and illustrated by Martin Aitchison.
The first part can be found here and the second part here.
That’s all folks.

I LOVED this book as a kid. It had a huge impact on my life long love of Art. I went on to do a Fine Art degree and paint when ever I get time to! I teach painting and other Art skills now.
I suddenly remembered this Ladybird book when I was reading a review of Julia Donaldson’s book, and I realised I’d read the story before! My Ladybird copy must be long gone, but thank you so much for putting it up here!
