Following the success of 'Nature Notes', the first two collections of this award-winning cartoons for 'The Times' newspaper on Sundays, Peter Brookes now presents a third selection of brilliantly executed drawings of the people and stories that make the headlines.
Covering the two years of New Labour government since 1999, 'Nature Notes III' shows how the great and the good might look as small, feathered or furry, or large and pachyderm, with Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott as both the Unhappypotamus and a Rail - "a bird that travels nowhere fast" - William Hagues as a MORI eel "on the rocks" on the Blackpool shoreline at party conference time; Prime Minister "Tony" Darwin's Theory of Devolution ("he denied he was attacking God's work because, after all, he was God").
From political intrigue and scandal to crises of state abroad, Peter Brookes' dazzling portraits represent a uniquely individual and perceptive view of those who inhabit the corridors of power.
