"Beautifully produced..a pleasure indeed" History Today "Consistently hilarious...beautifully authentic...an absolute pleasure" British Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies "Fast-paced and funny...every page is beautifully decorated... If I were Michael Gove (which thank God I am not), I would insist that this book be fixed into the A Level curriculum" -- Rebecca Rideal The History Vault
A full-time cartoonist since 1996, Adrian cut his teeth on Spitting Image. In 2001, he began to focus on political caricature, and cartooned for publications such as the Sunday Telegraph, the Scotsman, The Times Educational Supplement, Time Out, the Sun, and the Daily Mail and wrote/illustrated historical spreads for various QI Annuals. This, coupled with a regular cartoon slot for History Today, set him thinking about the possibilities of crossing popular history with caricature, and the The Gin Lane Gazette was born.
