Andreae's Edward Monkton series features a range of characters with unusual and amusing personality traits, philosophies and stories, and these characters share their wisdom from a wide range of greetings cards, gifts and collectables.
The greetings cards in the Edward Monkton series are illustrated in a minimalist and almost childlike style, usually in black ink on a white background, and provide a witty and insightful commentary on life, love, happiness and the things in life that bring joy (for example chocolate, shoes and frocks). Many of the greetings cards are left blank inside, so they can be used for a variety of occasions.
Several Edward Monkton characters also feature in full colour as gifts and collectables, including a range of striking little lapel pins, cute cuddly toys and shaped, scented soaps.
Edward Monkton characters are utterly charming, rather mischievous, and sometimes make little sense and it is these qualities that make them so endearing and popular with consumers of all ages and backgrounds.
Some popular Edward Monkton characters include:
The Penguin of Death
Don't be deceived by the Penguin of Death's cute looks, he's really quite deadly.
There are two things you should know about the Penguin of Death: Firstly, he is strangely attractive because of his enigmatic smile, and secondly he can kill you in any one of 412 different ways. The Penguin of Death is not to be messed with.
The Sheep of Destiny
The permanently cheerful and oh-so-talented Sheep of Destiny wears a broad smile because he sees your future - and oh, how HAPPY shall that future be!
The Pig of Happiness
The Pig of Happiness wears a cheeky grin which stretches from ear to ear, and his motto is: "May his joyful smile remind us how much there is to be HAPPY about" - a message we could all do with remembering, from time to time!
Rock Pig
Rock Pig wears a black leather jacket and shades, and he doesn't like disco, dance, ambient, trance, R&B or soul - he's only interested in heavy duty rock 'n' roll!
The Cat of Glory
The Cat of Glory is a wondrous sight. For it has been written: "And there shall come amongst them a Cat of such GREAT GLORY that all who see it will be sore amazed and marvel at its splendour."
