‘What a lovely book. Gentle, almost tender humour, but there is a cutting edge too!'

– Stanley Johnson

‘These drawings reveal the British character as we have always suspected it to be, even if we don’t quite dare to admit it. In a long tradition going back to Osbert Lancaster and Max Beerbohm, Chelsea Renton captures in a few lines the essence of the people she draws. Sharp but affectionate, always revealing, and often very funny.’

– David Dimbleby

‘Flicking through and it’s making me smile… Eminently giftable… And it’s been shamelessly sized to fit in stockings too.’

– Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

‘[Renton’s] distinctive drawings – specific and spot on – show her skills as a careful and very thoughtful observer of people and of human nature… A Field Guide is the perfect prescription for dark winter days and an antidote to despondency.’

– The Scottish Review

‘[A] lighthearted tome, packed with witty cartoons’

– Eastbourne Herald
