Henry's Holiday

Product Information

This episode is the second time both Mum and Dad react to Henry transforming into a dinosaur, the first being a gorilla in " Horrid Henry's Hideo Video". Henry goes to the woods to collect the firewood, but is spooked by a bird and trips over a tree root. Henry comes running out of the woods and trips again, this time over a tent peg belonging to the French Camper's tent. He realises that there is plenty of wood right there and takes pegs from the tent and one from the washing line. The washing line collapses again and this time though, the French Camper is having a campfire. A pair of the French Camper's underpants that were on the line land in the fire. Frantically, he takes out the underpants and stamps out the flames, but is left with a hole burnt in them. Historic England. "Oak Tree House (1245496)". National Heritage List for England .

They want to be close to nature, then they're going to be close to nature!

Holiday is now remembered only for two, incongruous, works: the large and at one time much reproduced painting in the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, of 'Beatrice denying her Salutation to Dante', and the series of nine fantastic and grotesquely imaginative illustrations to Lewis Carroll's 'The Hunting of the Snark' (1876). In 1907, Holiday went to Egypt, painting a series of watercolours and illustrations on ancient Egyptian themes. These were exhibited at Walker's Gallery, London, in March 1908 jointly with Mothersole who had been working on Egyptian archaeological drawings and watercolours since 1903/4. [17] In 1907–08, he commissioned the building of a holiday home, Betty Fold, [18] in his favourite part of the Lake District.

On his return to England in 1872, he commissioned architect Basil Champneys to design a new family home in Branch Hill, Hampstead, which was named "Oak Tree House". In 1888, William Gladstone was a visitor. [14] Nicola appeared in a cameo when it starts raining, and everyone's tents were collapsed, although her name had not been revealed at that point.

The William Morris Gallery in London, who held an exhibition of his work in 1989, have published a catalogue of that exhibition, which gives much information on his life and work. From 1899, Holiday worked with Jessie Mothersole as studio assistant and she remained closely associated with the family until Holiday's death. In 1906 Holiday gave Mothersole a drawing of his daughter Winifred, which later was acquired by the British Museum. [16] In July 1875, Holiday was commissioned by Lewis Carroll to illustrate The Hunting of the Snark. He remained a friend of the author throughout his life. Carroll died in 1898. [12] Holiday's illustration to the chapter The Banker's Fate might contain pictorial references to the etching The Image Breakers by Marcus Gheeraerts the Elder, to William Sidney Mount's painting The Bone Player, and to a photograph by Benjamin Duchenne used for a drawing in Charles Darwin's The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals. [15] I can't imagine getting through a day without reading or writing. I know it sounds a complete cliche, but there it is. I go to a writers' workshop once a week to meet other writers and exchange ideas and read work in progress, and that is hugely important to me. And every spare minute of the time at home I am reading, reading, reading…What would we do without stories? It was dark and Peter turned on his torch because of him getting scared something which woke up Henry]Dad: Come on, a bit of mud never hurt anyone! [pulls Henry who is grabbing tightly around a tree] D'ooh! When he died in 1927, Holiday was described as "the last Pre-Raphaelite." [2] Many of Dante Gabriel Rossetti's paintings, including Dante's Dream, had as their subject the Italian poet Dante Alighieri, and this interest is the likely inspiration for Holiday's painting. [2] It is based on Dante's 1294 autobiographical work La Vita Nuova which describes his love for Beatrice Portinari. Dante concealed his love by pretending to be attracted to other women. The painting depicts an incident when Beatrice, having heard gossip relating to this, refuses to speak to him. [1] The event is shown as Beatrice and two other women walk past the Santa Trinita Bridge in Florence. [2] Beatrice wears a white dress and walks beside her friend Monna Vanna, with Beatrice's maidservant slightly behind. [1] Henry Holiday was born on 17th June 1839 in London. In 1855, aged 16, he made his first journey to the Lake District. Throughout the rest of his life he was to make many more trips, often holidaying for long periods of time. Holiday worked in both oils and watercolours. In 1858, his first picture, a landscape painting, was exhibited at the Royal Academy and immediately sold; from that year his work was frequently shown at the Academy and elsewhere. Other pictures include: In the same year, 1855, Holiday made a journey to the Lake District. This was to be the first of many trips to the area, where he would often holiday for long periods of time. Whilst there, he spent much of his time sketching the views which were to be seen from the various hills and mountains. He wrote, "For concentrated loveliness, I know nothing that can quite compare with the lakes and mountains of Westmorland, Cumberland and Lancashire". [ full citation needed] Paintings [ edit ]

Horrid Henry: Or a werewolf pretending to be an owl. Werewolfs are very clever. Well, goodnight, then! In the book, Henry annoys Dad and other campers by playing Killer Boy Rats CDs on his boom box. He doesn't do this in the episode. In October 1864, Holiday married Catherine Raven (1866-1949) and they moved to Bayswater, London. His wife was a talented embroiderer who worked for Morris & Co. They had one daughter, Winifred (1866–1949). [12] Mum and Dad take Henry and Peter camping in France for a holiday, but this isn't exactly Henry's idea of fun. Can Henry make his parents and Peter feel the same way?

Henry Holiday in Cumbria

At Camp Le Fun, Mum and Dad are relaxed. Dad realises that Camp Le Fun isn't as bad as he thought and Mum remarks how nice it is to see Henry and Peter playing together for a change. At the top of the water slide, Peter goes to ask Henry if it's deep at the bottom, but before he can finish his sentence, Henry nudges him down the slide. After hearing Peter's splash landing in the pool, Henry says: 'Now this is what I call real camping!', goes down the slide himself and makes a splash, ending the episode. In the episode, Dad, Henry and Peter swim in the lake. In the book, Dad says they'll swim in the river, but this isn't shown.

I also enjoy being in the city—although I wouldn't want to live there all the time, it's fun to go window shopping or to big new exhibitions or shows, or just hang out in a coffee shop with a cappuccino and a notebook and watch the busy world go by. Dad: We're not staying there, Henry. We're having a real camping holiday; close to the joys of nature! In the episode, Henry goes into the woods to collect firewood, but gets spooked and runs out. In the book, he doesn't go because he thinks the forest will be muddy and wet.When Henry lets the sheep out of the field, many more sheep leave it than there were first in it the moment Henry opens the gate. Holiday spent much time at the studios of Sir Edward Burne-Jones, where groups of artists would meet to discuss, exchange and pool ideas. The influence of Burne-Jones can be seen in Holiday's work. Holiday had been a socialist throughout his life and, together with his wife Kate and daughter Winifred, supported the Suffragette movement. The family were close acquaintances of Myra Sadd Brown and Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughter, and had organised local suffragette meetings in the Lake District. Examples in the United States of Holiday's work may be seen in the sacristy of St. John's Chapel, Groton School (Groton, Massachusetts—panels by Holiday repurposed from the School's original chapel), and in Grace Church in New York City. In 1861, Holiday accepted the position of stained glass window designer for Powell's Glass Works, after Burne-Jones had left to work for Morris & Co. During his time there he fulfilled over 300 commissions, mostly for customers in the United States. He left in 1891 to set up his own glass works in Hampstead, producing stained glass, mosaics, enamels and sacerdotal objects.
