Review: I, like many others, love Raymond Brigg's work. This book is a collection of articles he wrote on the subject of getting old, getting forgetful, suffering the injuries that crisps can give you and so on. Raymonds sense of humour shines out and you realise the character Father Christmas he drew and wrote is really Raymond with these articles. Its a joy to pick up and read a couple on the tube, bus, in a cafe wherever you are. Guaranteed to make you smile.

Review: This is a great subject and Raymond Briggs does it very nicely but, the paperback appears to be a cheap option. The paper is thin and the illustrations are all black and white. If you want a quality copy of this book, buy the hardback version and not the paperback

    Description: Raymond Briggs has changed the face of children's picture books, with his innovations of both form and subject. Stylistically versatile, he has illustrated some sixty books, twenty of them with his own text, and first became a household name in the late 1970s and early 1980s with a handful of books - Father Christmas, Fungus the Bogeyman, The Snowman, When the Wind Blows - that were entertaining and subversive and appealed to both children and adults. The refrains of his work are class, family, love and loss. Nevertheless, his default mode of expression is humour. Briggs is always funny, and the balance between this and melancholy is his defining characteristic, though his style ranges from the romantic to the grotesque, from the fanciful to the direct. Encompassing sixty years of Raymond Briggs's work, from political picturebooks to children's classics, this study explores his themes of class, family and loss, and how he demonstrates both emotional power and great technical skill.

    Description: Early one morning, Jim woke up and saw a massive plant growing outside his window. In this re-telling of the classic children's story by author of The Snowman Raymond Briggs, a little boy called Jim finds a beanstalk outside his window one morning. Like his predecessor Jack, he decides to climb it - and at the top, he finds a huge castle and a rather grumpy giant. But this giant isn't at all what Jim expected.
