Description: Tails of Tottering Hall by Annie Tempest Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Annie Tempests ability to comically depict the highs and lows of dog ownership is second to none — and stands as a heart-warming reminder that, despite muddy paws on the carpet and the occasional raiding of the fridge, we will love them all the same. The cartoons in this book are sure to resonate with all dog owners alike. Publisher Description This book is another collection of Annie Tempests expertly-observed cartoons humorously depicting the archetypical English upper-class, following spirited traditionalists Dicky and Daphne Tottering, who reside in their lavish yet dilapidating ancestral home, Tottering Hall, together with their adored and exceedingly-spoilt dogs, affectionately named Slobber and Scribble. Daphne, otherwise known as Daffy, is a redoubtable and, these days, lamentably-dying breed, frequently referred to as a Country Lady, while Dicky just lives in another era altogether. Follow this endearing couple as they attempt to navigate an increasingly-modernised world with their mischievous pooches, both of whom hold a firm place in their owners affections, allowing them to wreak all kinds of havoc with minimal consequences. Annie Tempests ability to comically depict the highs and lows of dog ownership is second to none - and stands as a warming reminder that, despite muddy paws on the carpet and the occasional raiding of the fridge, we will love them all the same. The cartoons in this book are sure to resonate with all dog owners alike, as they compare the foibles of black Lab Slobber and working cocker Scribble to the eccentricities of their own treasured pets. Even if youve never had the pleasure of encountering these characters before, one cannot fail to be amused by these beautifully-executed cartoons. AUTHOR: At the age of 24, Annie Tempest, whilst working as a medical secretary, began to teach herself how to draw. This, coupled with a love of cryptic crosswords combined to sow the seeds of a career as a cartoonist, initially working for the Daily Mail for seven and a half years with a strip called The Yuppies. In 1989, she was voted Strip cartoonist of the year by her peers in the Cartoonists Club of Great Britain. Annie created Tottering-by-Gently and joined Country Life magazine in 1993. Her subtle and humorous depictions of Dicky and Daffy Tottering and their family has expanded into a small empire both through syndication and licensing as well as a number of memorable exhibitions abroad in Mexico and New York but also at The OShea Gallery. In 2009 she won the prestigious Pont Prize for her portrayal of the British Character - the highest accolade in her profession. Annie is still living and working in rural Norfolk in a beautifully converted barn filled with Tottering delights and surrounded by glorious gardens. 120 colour illustrations Author Biography Annie Tempest is one of the top cartoonists working in the UK.
