Synopsis The Tin-Pot Foreign General And the Old Iron Woman by : Raymond Briggs
BANG! BANG! BANG! went the guns of the Tin-Pot Foreign General BANG! BANG! BANG! went the guns of the Old Iron Woman Raymond Briggs's visceral take on the Falklands War is uncompromising in its dark and moving satire of the build-up and aftermath of the conflict. This controversial book's infamous stars - General Leopoldo Galtieri and Margaret Thatcher - are depicted as robotic caricatures with a pointless blood lust. Now available as an eBook for the first time.

Synopsis The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness by : Florence Hartley
In preparing a book of etiquette for ladies, I would lay down as the first rule, "Do unto others as you would others should do to you." You can never be rude if you bear the rule always in mind, for what lady likes to be treated rudely? True Christian politeness will always be the result of an unselfish regard for the feelings of others, and though you may err in the ceremonious points of etiquette, you will never be impolite. Politeness, founded upon such a rule, becomes the expression, in graceful manner, of social virtues. The spirit of politeness consists in a certain attention to forms and ceremonies, which are meant both to please others and ourselves, and to make others pleased with us; a still clearer definition may be given by saying that politeness is goodness of heart put into daily practice; there can be no _true_ politeness without kindness, purity, singleness of heart, and sensibility.

Synopsis Blooming Books by : Raymond Briggs
'BLOOMING BOOKS is an exploration of Raymond Brigg's work from the time he left art school and began illustrating other people's texts, right up to his most recent publications. Always extraordinary and unpredictable, often controversial, he is one of most distinguished and best-loved artists working today and has created characters that are now icons for more than one generation of children. He has been honoured twice with the Kate Greenaway Medal (for 'Mother Goose Treasury' and 'Father Christmas') as well as winning many other prestigious awards. Illustrations and extracts from his work - and in some cases complete picture books - are accompanied by commentaries from the well-known journalist, Nicolette Jones, reviewing Raymond's intentions and indicating the underlying philosophy of his themes. This stunning and diverse book makes for a fascinating read.

Synopsis Gentleman Jim by : Raymond Briggs
A graphic novel classic from one of the world's best-known cartoonists "Gentleman Jim" is the story of Jim Bloggs, an imaginative toilet cleaner who, dissatisfied with his station in life, devotes his time to envisioning a world beyond it. His walls are lined with books like "Out in the Silver West," "The Boys' Book of Pirates," and "Executive Opportunities," which provide fodder for his ruminations on career change. Encouraged by his wife, who is also eager to incorporate more adventure into her life, Jim sets out to bring these dreams to fruition by accumulating various accoutrements, only to discover that the life of an executive, an artist, or a cowboy is more complicated and costly than it appears. Jim's childlike understanding of the world that surrounds him is enhanced by Raymond Briggs's subtle and inventive illustrations. Fantasies are portrayed as organic clouds that move between and overlap outlined panels of his reality, and myopic Jim is drawn smaller and softer than the policemen and bureaucrats interested in impeding his search for adventure. As he begins to infringe more seriously on the law, the city workers and their speech boxes become increasingly angular, much like the rigid rules and regulations restricting his sincere quest. With this playful style, Briggs expertly transforms common feelings of inadequacy into an endearing and enjoyable experience that speaks across generations, concluding with an optimistic implication that even a misfortunate outcome can be better than no change at all. This classic novel, originally published in 1980, is presented by Drawn & Quarterly in a new edition.
