Snifters at Tottering Hall

- Blurb -

For nearly thirty years Annie Tempest has entertained ' Country Life' magazine readers with her weekly strip cartoon, Tottering-by-Gently, reaching much greater audiences worldwide through the associated merchandise, including book compilations such as this new volume on the subject of food and drink. A whole generation has grown up following the gentle everyday observations of this very British extended family with their dogs, daily struggles and difficulties in adapting to the fast-paced, technological and now woke world. ' Snifters at Tottering Hall' is the long-awaited, post-lockdown offering from Lord and Lady Tottering and is well timed to put a smile back on our faces after a notably unamusing confinement. Annie' s superb cartoons remind us that life must be celebrated and taken with a pinch of salt and a stiff upper lip. Cheers to all! Onwards and upwards without spilling a drop.
