Amidst the decaying splendor of Tottering Hall in the county of Pimmshire, Lord and Lady Tottering live the archetypal country life. Daffy Tottering drinks gin, diets permanently, and frets about her descending bosom, while her husband Dicky lives for hunting, shooting, and fishing. Together with their slightly politically incorrect political entourage, Daffy and Dicky represent a sort of quintessentially English country lifestyle. Thus, it is no wonder that these endearing characters have become stars of Country Life magazine, and their creator, award-winning cartoonist Annie Tempest is feted as one of Britain’s most accomplished illustrators. Tottering Hall is Annie Tempest’s personal selection from 7 years of strips and single cartoons.
