Alfred 'Fred' Bestall was born on 14th December 1892. He is remembered as the writer and illustrator of the Rupert Bear stories in the Daily Express, from 1935 to 1965.
Most of the landscapes that Bestall used in his illustrations were inspired by his childhood holidays in Snowdonia, an area he revisited regularly as an adult, settling in a cottage on Mynydd Sygun, in Beddgelert in 1956.
