Annie Tempest is one of the top cartoonists working in the UK. This was recognized in 2009 with the Cartoon Art Trust awarding her the Pont Prize for the portrayal of the British Character. Annie’s cartoon career began in 1985 with the success of her first book, How Green Are Your Wellies? This led to a regular cartoon, ‘Westenders’ in the Daily Express. Soon after, she joined the Daily Mail with the ‘Yuppies’ cartoon strip which ran for more than seven years and for which, in 1989, she was awarded ‘Strip Cartoonist of the Year’. Since 1993 Annie Tempest has been charting the life of Daffy and Dicky Tottering in Tottering-by-Gently – the phenomenally successful weekly strip cartoon in Country Life.
The mischievous canine misdemeanours depicted throughout the
beautifully presented hard covered book will resonate with all dog
owners and undoubtedly bring a smile to the face of all. At a time
when the world needs a laugh, Tails of Tottering Hall is strongly
recommended as an antidote for anyone feeling a bit of doom and
gloom.
Tails of Tottering Hall is a compilation of hilarious antics of two
dogs, Slobber and Scribble, as they do their best to please their
masters, Lord and Lady Tottering, an eccentric couple who adore
their four-legged companions. The misadventures of Slobber and
Scribble have featured in Country Life magazine for 25 years and
have, no doubt, amused many... Even the Duke of Devonshire
commented that "Tottering-by-Gently was the reason most people read
the magazine backwards." This book will make for a fantastic
bedside companion.
