About the Author:
Norman Thelwell contributed more than 1,600 cartoons to Punch magazine and worked as political cartoonist for the News Chronicle, then at the Sunday Express and Tatler. He was particularly well-known for his cartoons on horse riding, fishing, sailing, motoring and English country life and was one of the founder members of the British Cartoonists' Association.
Review:
'Fans of Norman Thelwell's barrel-shaped hairy ponies rejoice: publisher Allison & Busby is reissuing four tongue-in-cheek guides to rural life from the cartoonist's archive' Country Life Magazine 'These quirky cartoon books [offer] a trip down memory lane for Thelwell's long-established fans and a breath of fresh air for a new generation of outdoor pursuit lovers' Lancashire Evening Post 'This collection of cartoons addresses the perennial problems of weeds and neighbourly disputes... it is fun to see how far we have come from a world of chaps in sleeveless pullovers and ties pushing cumbersome hand lawnmovers' The Sunday Times
