Tottering-by-Gently Out and About with the Totterings by Annie Tempest

Tottering-by-Gently is a village in the fictional county of North Pimmshire, where Lord and Lady Tottering reside at their ancestral home, Tottering Hall. Annie Tempest's prints are based on Lord and Lady Tottering (Dicky and Daffy), their daughter Serena and their grandchildren, Freddy and Daisy. Through Dicky and Daffy's extended family, Annie Tempest casts her gimlet eye over everything from inter-generational tensions, the differing perspectives of men and women, to dieting, field sports, and much much more. Her now international following proves that she touches a note of universal truth in her exquisitely detailed and beautifully executed cartoons as she gently laughs with us at the stuff of life. This collection, the seventh in the series, includes cartoons from Country Life published 2004-2005

Annie satirises on a human level, retaining an old world kindness and understanding in her drawings.This book is the latest set of cartoons to gently amuse and delight. NFU Countryside
