About this ebook
Three Sheets in the Wind brings together a glorious collection of Thelwell's sailing cartoons.
Arriving on a summer weekend at any stretch of water without one's own craft behind the car or swaying proudly at its moorings is like attending a dance with a broken leg - not to mention the damage to one's social status. This is a humorous manual of instruction for sailors anywhere.
Norman Thelwell
In 1952, Norman Thelwell (1923-2004) penned his first cartoon for the satirical British magazine Punch, renowned internationally for its wit, irreverence, and for publishing the world's best comic writers and poets. This led to a relationship that lasted for 25 years and over 1,000 cartoons, including 60 front covers. Thelwell was a master of sharp social comment and sheer zany humour, and his 34 books have sold millions of copies worldwide and have been translated into numerous languages (thelwell.org.uk).

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5An oldie but a goodie. If you have been sailing you'll relate to a lot of these (I have a theory that if you don't want to look silly in public you shouldn't go sailing...) and if you haven't you should still find them amusing!
