"Robert Chesley Osborn (19041994) was an American satiric cartoonist, illustrator and author.Osborn characterized himself as "a drawer" whose figures "seemed to come right out of my subconscious." Garry Trudeau called him "one of the very few masters of illustrative cartooning." Robert Motherwell wrote that his drawings were "so alive that they seemed to writhe on the page with an uninhibited energy . Osborn's art is a call to responsible action." ; Motherwell was among those who compared Osborn's graphic work to that of Daumier, Goya, Saul Steinberg, as well as to the sculpture of Alexander Calder, who was a friend of Osborn's.".

Black boards with gilt titles at the backstrip. First published in the UK by Macdonald and Jane's in 1979. Hardback with DJ. Cyril Northcote Parkinson (1909 1993) was a British naval historian and author of some 60 books, the most famous of which was his best-seller Parkinson's Law (1957) , in which he advanced his epnoymous 'law', stating that "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion", an insight which led him - much to his own bemusement - to be regarded as an important scholar in public administration and management. He wrote two biographies of fictional characters, The Life and Times of Horatio Hornblower, first published in 1970, and this one, a fictional biography of Bertie Wooster's loyal, omniscient valet. In it, Parkinson not only ties together a fairly complex narrative (based on the snippets we are given in the canon stories of Jeeves' career prior to encountering the young preux chevalier to whom he becomes both an indispensable right-hand man and - despite the barriers of the master/ servant relationship - his best friend) but draws to a satisfying close the story of these two lovable characters. Parkinson's style is that of a very assured, but now sadly rarely encountered creature - the exceptionally erudite narrator of leisurely but well-constructed tales, offering a proliferation of offhand references to literature and mythology - that is evocative of the very best writers of centuries earlier than the twentieth century. I am a fan of Parkinson's based on his other works, but this I personally believe to be his crowning achievement. The book consists of a masterful synthesis of his own inimitable style and that of the estimable P. G. Wodehouse; the combination is a pure and exquisite joy to read. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 191 pages.
