Publisher's Synopsis
In 1996, Political Cartoonist of the Year Peter Brookes launched a series of cartoons in THE TIMES called 'Nature Notes'. A menagerie with a vegetable patch, the world of 'Nature Notes' is a place where the great and the good can and do become the small and the furry: Boris Yeltsin as a Muscovy (lame) duck; Ian Paisley as an Orange-utan ('Devours all greenery'); and Baroness Thatcher as a rabid old bat. Anything is possible - John Prescott can even become a Great Tit.
NATURE NOTES: The Third Collection brings together over fifty new illustrations. Covering the period from September 1999 to June 2001, each cartoon takes as its theme a news story of the time, the antics around the Millennium Dome to Peter Mandelson's (two) resignations to Tory in-fighting. Both a revealing commentary on the New Labour government and a hilarious succession of merciless character studies, NATURE NOTES: THE THIRD COLLECTION is essential reading for the politically informed.
