Brat Race

By Norman Thelwell

The artist Norman Thelwell (1923-2004) was famous for his horse and pony cartoons, but his work was far more wide ranging. He focused his exceptional talent on many diverse subjects, with his witty and wry observations providing amusement and sharp social comment.

Brat Race, which was first published in 1977, takes a comical look at the world of children and the joys of parenthood. Thelwell chronicles youngsters' behaviour with hilarious accuracy noting the mysteries, curiosities and characteristics, while providing humorous hints and advice for anxious parents and well-meaning relatives. From names, toys and birthday parties, to pets, health and happiness, all elements of childhood are depicted in the artist's inimitable and entertaining style.
