Louis Wain Fact #14:
Wain was quite a charitable person. He was involved in many animal charities, including the Anti-Vivisection Society and the Society for the Protection of Cats. He also frequently illustrated and published heartwarming advertisements in his annuals free of charge for Dr. Barnado’s Homes for children.

And the branches are rustling a murmurous rune,
The Owls sit in council, like prophets of Fate,
Discussing grave questions of Kingdom and State.
They wink and they blink, and they blink and they wink,
Till midnight grows black and commands them to flit
With a “Shoo! To-whoo!” and a “Whirr! Tu-whit!”
