Full description for Ethel and Ernest

• In "Ethel And Ernest" Raymond Briggs provides a brilliantly drawn and uniquely poignant record of his parents' marriage, from their first chance encounter to their deaths. A combination of biography and social history in which Briggs' parents become representative of the nation as a whole, as they experience the dark days of W.W.II, the introduction of the welfare state and the advent of television. A moving and warmly funny tribute to his parents, which will have widespread appeal. There will be a huge campaign behind the book, and the general feeling is that it could be "very" big indeed. Full colour illustrations throughout.
