A Field Guide to the Peoples of the British Isles by Chelsea Renton
What sort of Brit are you? A hilarious illustrated guide to the unique inhabitants of these isles‘What a lovely bookGentle, almost tender humour, but there is a cutting edge too!'
-- Stanley Johnson‘These drawings reveal the British character as we have always suspected it to be, even if we don’t quite dare to admit it. In a long tradition going back to Osbert Lancaster and Max Beerbohm, Chelsea Renton captures in a few lines the essence of the people she draws. Sharp but affectionate, always revealing, and often very funny.’
-- David Dimbleby‘Flicking through and it’s making me smile… Eminently giftable… And it’s been shamelessly sized to fit in stockings too.’
-- Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall‘[Renton’s] distinctive drawings – specific and spot on – show her skills as a careful and very thoughtful observer of people and of human nature… A Field Guide is the perfect prescription for dark winter days and an antidote to despondency.’
-- The Scottish Review‘[A] lighthearted tome, packed with witty cartoons’
