On December 1st, 2013 in a lovely pub in central London Mrs Krystyna Ivell organised a launch party of the “Wojtek Album”, a unique item of a book containing a collection of photographs, eye witness reports and anecdotes in a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies. Publishing of the book coincided with the 50th anniversary of Wojtek’s death, 2nd December 1963.
The event was well attended and was supported by a jazz band of Will Hood: “The Swinging Ninjas” playing wonderful swing music. Brigid Lady McEwen delivered a speech while friends of Wojtek the Bear made friends.
