'Josephs Yard' Published by Oxford University Press, 1969, and by Franklin Watts, New York, 1970.

Joseph’s Yard is a great favourite with children. This book was written and illustrated by Charles and is very typical of his thinking. Many of his Picture Books were semi biographical, the feeling of the boy’s moods come across so well, and the picture of the angry boy is just the personnification of “Anger”, This cover of the book is a beautiful introduction to the quality of the story and illustrations inside.
