Celebrating the 60th anniversary of Thelwell's Angels on Horseback

An hilarious companion volume to Thelwell's 'Magnificat'.

Thelwell's collection of more than 90 hilarious and sharply observed cartoons chronicling Britain's stately homes and the class system. First published in 1982, the humour remains timeless.

This tongue in cheek cartoon guide covers all aspects of gardening, from how to make a hole in the frozen fish pond to how to get your mower out of the shed, and includes a calendar of essential work throughout the year.

What do fishermen really get up to when they abandon a warm bed before the crack of dawn, stuff a haversack with tins of assorted maggots, half a hundredweight of pulped bread and a folding campstool, and disappear into the drizzle? Thelwell presents his report.

Thelwell made a study of this strange phenomenon of human behaviour and set it all down in his BOOK OF LEISURE.
