Description: This horizontal se-tenant block contains ten 1st class stamps highlighting legendary characters from British children's literature and comic strips. Arranged in two structured rows of five, the top row features sci-fi hero Dan Dare, Goldilocks' Three Bears, Rupert the Bear steering a hot air balloon, Alice lying on the floor from Alice in Wonderland, and Noggin the Nog reading next to an Ice Dragon. The bottom row depicts Peter Rabbit slipping a letter into a wall postbox, Little Red Riding Hood reading to the Big Bad Wolf, Orlando the Marmalade Cat writing at a desk, flying ace Biggles, and Paddington Bear sitting on his suitcase at a station platform. A distinct gold silhouette of Queen Elizabeth II anchors the right side of every individual piece alongside the designated value indicator. Fine edge perforations separate the individual frames while allowing the entire group to be preserved as a single, vibrant panorama.
