Handford's simple idea was to draw a dozen or so crowd scenes, in each of which you had to find Wally, a cheery bespectacled nerd in a red-and-white hooped sweater. Last week we launched our BeWinterWise campaign to join up all the activities, events and advice to keep people safe, well and active during the winter months,” said Cllr Tom Sanderson, Chair of the Communities, Social Mobility and Inclusion Committee.

Handford's settings vary from the humdrum to the hallucinogenic, from a sporting field (full of characteristic visual puns that children will love: a pear skater, a tennis "ace" and so on) to a world where balloons and Victorian steamers battle green dragons. The individuals are lightly sketched, a couple of dots and a squiggle for a face, seen from a great distance. Do you know any good and popular female duet songs to sing karaoke with my sister for a competition we entered?In the following book, Where's Wally in Hollywood, there was a final giant Busby Berkeley-style musical, featuring hundreds of Wallies, Wendas (his girlfriend), Odlaws (his arch-enemy), Woofs (his dog, visible only by his red-hooped tail) and Wizard Whitebeards. They're like the teeming CGI hordes in The Lord of the Rings, but the closer you look the more you see - little patterns, jokes, connections, sly references to previous pages or previous books. by author and illustrator Martin Hanford – listed among missing titles, it tops the list of books that the county council’s library staff want to recover.

In the first book the scenes were familiar - on the beach, at the station, on the ski slope - but witty and energetic and beautifully executed. And everywhere, jammed together, teetering on ladders, in crow's nests, on tightropes, are Handford's utterly distinctive crowds. In the time that it has taken Handford to produce the next volume, JK Rowling has published six Harry Potter books. If I'm going to find Woof's bones, not to mention Wally in the land of the Wallies, I'll need a year's sabbatical and my first pair of reading glasses.

Wally was on a quest, along with a Gandalf-like wizard, and wandered with his equable smile through worlds of battling monks, flying carpets, red dwarves, underground hunters and, most disturbing of all, the Land of the Wallies.
