- Book Synopsis
- The artist Norman Thelwell (1923-2004) was famous for his horse and pony cartoons, but his work was far more wide ranging. He focused his exceptional talent and humour on many diverse subjects, with his witty and wry observations providing amusement and sharp social comment. This Desirable Plot is the artist's inimitable guide to navigating the property market and buying or selling a house. First published in 1970, it introduces prospective purchasers to estate agents' jargon, gives cautionary advice on country cottages and highlights the perils of any projects involving conversion or renovation. From structural surveys to rising damp, and dry rot to roof repairs, this is an entertaining look at finding the ideal home and making the right - or wrong - moves on the property ladder.
- About The Author
- In 1952, Norman Thelwell (1923-2004) penned his first cartoon for the satirical British magazine Punch, renowned internationally for its wit, irreverence, and for publishing the world's best comic writers and poets. This led to a relationship that lasted for 25 years and over 1,000 cartoons, including 60 front covers. Thelwell was a master of sharp social comment and sheer zany humour, and his 34 books have sold millions of copies worldwide and have been translated into numerous languages (thelwell.org.uk).
