England's best loved comic book creator Raymond Briggs gets personal with a loving portrait of the life-long relationship between his parents - Ethel and Ernest. Starting in the late 1920s at the moment they first met Briggs spans the decades with the large and tiny moments from both their lives together. Working as both social history and a touching insight into relationships and growing old this is a comic that is both majestic in scope and delicately intimate in execution. A guaranteed heartbreaker that is required reading for anyone anywhere.
