Characters in books etc
Okay, this is irritating me. This carving in St Marys Park, Barnsley, is, I'm sure, a character from a childrens' book .... but I can't remember which¬!  Anybody recall which one?

Not sure of the children's book character connection are you thinking of the Picasso painting 'child holding a dove'? Here is some info on the park and sculpture

Thanks, interesting but tells us nothing about the subject of the sculpture. I do see the similarity to the Picasso at the National Gallery - http://artinvestment.ru/content/down...ith_a_dove.jpg
but this surely is a duckling?
Wasn't there a character Alfie like this?
