About this product
Product Information
Raymond Brigg`s most extraordinary and most appealing book yet - a tender, moving, warmly funny tribute to his parents- Ethel and Ernest - now a major animated film starring Jim Broadbent, Brenda Blethyn and Luke Treadaway A marvellous, life-enhancing book for all ages, now a major animated film starring Jim Broadbent, Brenda Blethyn and Luke Treadaway Utterly original, deeply moving and very funny, Ethel & Ernest tells the story of Raymond Briggs' parents' marriage, lady's maid Ethel and milkman Ernest, from their first chance encounter in 1928, through the birth of their son Raymond in 1934, to their deaths, within months of each other, in 1971. Told in Brigg`s unique strip-cartoon format, Ethel and Ernest live through the defining moments of the twentieth century- the darkness of the Great Depression, the build up to World War II, the trials of the war years, the euphoria of VE Day and the emergence of a generation from post war austerity to the cultural enlightenment of the 1960s. Ethel & Ernest is a heartfelt and affectionate tribute to an ordinary couple and an extraordinary generation.Product Identifiers

The good old days
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this on tv recently, I purchased the book to too. The book has a comic type layout, with the bubbles when people speak! However it's great to travel back in time, going through the decades. Watching fashions coming and going, as well as the interior of our homes! A great book for anyone who enjoys nostalgiaVerified purchase: YesCondition: New
