Description

****The nation's favourite cartoonist - Express****

Giles enthusiasts will be thrilled with this latest collection of classic cartoons.


Capturing Giles's trademark style and British humour, the 2021 annual takes a look at the biggest names of the 20th century, from politicians such as Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher to members of the royal family such as Princess Margaret and Queen Elizabeth.

Giles also brilliantly details the celebrities whose names and stories were swept up by the national press during the 20th Century. From Christine Keeler, an English model who was at the centre of the Profumo Affair during the 1960s to Michael Fish, the BBC weather correspondent, who was lampooned for underestimating The Great Storm of 1987.

Fans of Giles will be delighted to receive the latest annual compilation featuring 150 cartoons to enjoy from the archives of one of the most celebrated cartoonists of the once biggest selling daily newspaper in the world, the Daily Express, whose work led to him being voted the best cartoonist of the 20th century.



About the Author
Carl Giles was born in Islington, North London, on 29 September 1916. After leaving school at fourteen, he initially trained in animation before moving into cartoons, when working for Reynolds News. In 1943 Giles moved to the Sunday Express and Daily Express, eventually replacing Strube and becoming the Daily Express "War Correspondent Cartoonist" with the 2nd Army in 1945. Best known for his Express "family", his cartoons had enormous popular appeal and in 1959 he was awarded an OBE. Giles left the Daily Express in 1989 but continued working for the Sunday Express until 1991. He died in 1995.

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

My favourite pick for manga

Great delivery to EU, no issues with customs. Very good packaging. A nice selection of manga and, so far, the best prices I could find :)

Great as always

Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
