Description
Annie Tempest has been called 'a national treasure' for her much lauded and internationally loved cartoon strip about a fictitious English village with the eccentric Lord and Lady Tottering and their family who reside at Tottering Hall. During the thirty years that 'Tottering-by-Gently' has appeared weekly in 'Country Life' magazine, the Tottering family - all three generations of them - have been seen enjoying diverse pastimes and sporting pursuits including tennis, riding, skiiing, golf, sailing, fishing and cricket. More than eighteen collections of Annie's cartoons on subjects ranging from diet and dogs to topiary and tipples have preceded this latest, keenly anticipated offering. Illustrated with over 100 of Annie's superb colour cartoons, this is a winning celebration of the Totterings - and the British - at play.
