Book review - Giles: The Collection 2012
FOR more than 50 years the Giles Family joined Express readers for breakfast.
One of the most talented satirists of his generation Carl Giles effortlessly captured the mood of working Britain through the cheeky characters in his single-panel cartoons.
His illustrations provide us with a uniquely human snapshot of the events that gripped 20th-century Britain: his characters remain stoical while facing industrial unrest in the Seventies, food rationing and terrors of the Cold War.
Verdict: 5/5
