Thank you <u>so</u> much for that magnificent & highly original inkwell I don't know how you manage to find these things with feathers on Is there anything which <u>hasn't</u> got feathers on!</em></p><p><em>I was so touched that you managed to ensure your present reached me on my birthday in Tokyo.

Poplak's 2005 obituary in The Times characterised him as "a shy and private man" who was deeply valued and trusted by his clients for his "courtier-like discretion and marked reticence with the press." When The Times wrote a story that he was refurbishing Highgrove House for the Prince and Princess of Wales he stated:</p><p>"I certainly won't tell you what the colour schemes are. That would be like disclosing the design of Lady Diana's wedding dress."</p><p>After the wedding of the Prince and Princess of Wales Poplak carried out further interior design projects at the royal residences and also on the royal train. Poplak was a good friend of both the Prince and Princess of Wales and remained so even after the couple's divorce.

In many ways it helps to keep me reasonably sane and if it doesn't appeal to the critics then it's just too bad! I only hope that those who are rash enough to thumb through this book may be helped to discover what infinite beauty and delight there is in the details of God's creation".</p><p>The Queen Mother wrote the preface for the book. In part the Queen Mother wrote:</p><p>"I am delighted that this book is being published and it is nice to think that a wider audience will now have a chance to see some of the watercolours painted by my grandson in many different parts of the world. Ever since he was a small boy Prince Charles has taken an interest in his surroundings and has developed his powers of observation to the point where painting became a necessary and vital expression of that interest."</p><p>The money raised from sales of the book was given to the Prince of Wales's charities.</p><p>Please contact us for shipping costs if ordering from outside the UK.</p> Little, Brown and Company. hardcover
