Reader's note

Publishing a volume of humorous drawings is one of the riskiest ventures possible, for readers are inclined to become lookers instead of buyers. Despite this, ‘fanfare’ just could not be resisted, for both the pictures and the captions show such a witty and endearing sense of humour that obviously anyone who picked up the book would buy it straight away to take home and share with his family and friends. This young artist’s favourite themes are those over-elaborated and under-populated stately homes and the vanished past. At the upper end of society his people are frequently condemned to live in a setting which dwarfs them and denies them warmth, light and every domestic comfort. But there are compensations, for their animals aren’t so much pets as members of the family. Some of these drawings have appeared in Punch over the last four years, but there are a number made especially for this book.
