Ethel and Ernest is the true story of the parents of Raymond Briggs, author & illustrator of Snowman. They’re two ordinary Londoners who fall in love against the background of immense social change in the mid 20th century, experiencing the Depression, World War II, VE Day, post-war austerity and cultural upheaval. Forty years of change, one enduring love. With the pencil of Art director Robin Shaw (The Tiger who Came to Tea, We are Going on a Bear Hunt) the story comes to life with delightful hand-drawn illustrations.
