Fun and Games with the Totterings

Annie Tempest

Beschreibung

Annie Tempest has been called a national treasure for her much-lauded and internationally loved cartoon strip about a fictitious English village with the eccentric Lord and Lady Tottering and their family who reside at Tottering Hall. During the thirty years that 'Tottering-by-Gently' has appeared weekly in Country Life magazine, the Tottering family – all three generations of them – have been seen enjoying diverse pastimes and sporting pursuits including tennis, riding, skiing, golf, sailing, fishing and cricket. This latest, keenly anticipated offering is illustrated with more than 100 of Annie's superb colour cartoons and is a winning celebration of the Totterings – and the British – at play.

Gary Warren

1961 Greenwich Village; a Fable  
Gently comedic and poignant with a fanciful, mythical slant. 
  
          An uplifting tale from an inspirational era. 
  
What if… a whimsical, droll Brit reflects on a magical, wondrous time in his life …? 
What if… a mere sketch of their face could expose a person's true self, for better or for worse…? 
What if… a mediocre artist was called out as a fraud, a folk singer's talent was enhanced and a woman couldn't offend, no matter what audacious things she said…? 
What if… a couple in love, could transcend culture, race, and avarice…? 
  
  It happened in 1961 in Greenwich Village, NY. Or was it just a fable?
