About this product
Product Information
Utterly original, deeply moving and very funny, Ethel & Ernest is the story of Raymond Bribb`s parents' marriage, from their first chance encounter to their deaths told in Brigg`s unique strip-cartoon format. Nothing is invented, nothing embroidered-this is the reality of two decent, ordinary lives of two peoplewho, as Briggs tells the story, become representative of us all. The book is also social history; we see the dark days of the Second World War, the birth of the Welfare State, the advent of television and all the changes which were so exhilarating and bewildering for Ethel and Ernest. A marvellous, life-enhancing book for all ages.Product Identifiers

Ethel and Ernest by Raymond Briggs
A brave nostalgic adventure by the author/illustrator into the lives of his parents, their lifelong marital journey, including his birth and road to adulthood in their care. Beautifully rendered. Captured pre and post war with tenderness and the heartbreak of loss. It’s not just a cartoon ! Bravo to one of our best contemporary greats.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Hi WOB does a wonderful job and I buy many of your books. This book was great in every aspect, except it did not have the cover shown in the add. I really wanted the cover shown in the add, so I was very disappointed. Talk about "judging a book by its cover!!!!" Just as an aside, I have ended up with many dupicate books in this way, especially text books. At one point I had 12 dupicated text books! Frustrating.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
