The Lost Colour

Join Malcolm Brushell, professional painter and amateur alchemist, on his epic adventure to find the pinky-est pink paint on the planet! Through cracking rocks, mashing every conceivable vegetable, and even bottling and fermenting his own cow's wee, he has created every colour imaginable...except for that rascally illusive pink, but he won't give up! This is a fully illustrated storybook with gorgeous hand drawn illustrations from Liz Murray, inspired by Raymond Briggs. This book is perfect to read to younger children and to let older explore for themselves. Based on the history of the art of pigment making the story follows Malcolm and his highland cow Elsie, on a quest to create the most pigmented pink paint ever!

Based on 'The Lost Colour', a theatre production made by Half a String.
