Tottering Hall: Family Life At Tottering-By-Gently

The best of Tottering-by-Gently, selected from the vaults by Dicky and Daffy, with the help of Annie Tempest.

Amidst the decaying splendour of Tottering Hall in the country of Pimmshire, Lord and Lady Tottering live the archetypal country life. Daffy Tottering in "wellies and pearls", drinks gin, smokes Silk Cuts, diets permanently and frets about her descending bosom, whilst her husband Dicky lives for hunting, shooting and fishing and fears women with laptops and mobile phones infiltrating his club. Together with their slightly politically incorrect political entourage Daffy and Dicky represent a sort of quintessentially English country lifestyle.

Thus it is no wonder that these endearing characters have become stars of 'Country Life' magazine and their creator, award-winning cartoonist Annie Tempest, is feted as one of Britain's most accomplished illustrators. This book is Annie's personal selection from seven years of strips and single cartoons.
