I tried to find more out about the sculptor of the Percy lion, John Knowles, but information is a bit scarce about him. Will keep digging! It would be good to have a section about the lion in the show (apart from an animated lion).
I hope you are well and less busy!

Hi Nick,
Many thanks for your reply. Do let me know if you find out anything interesting about that tail?! There's definitely a story there...
I will transcribe the recording from the Fair and send you a copy with some of the below added in, if that's okay. I'd like to use it in the live show audio if you are happy for me to do so. It would be wonderful to have you record it but i fully appreciate that life is busy. Would be okay with someone else reading it for inclusion in the show?
Best regards, Donna.
