Humphrey Lyttleton died June 2008 and he left behind an amazing record of his life both in wods,and in cartoons and drawings - from sketches of family and jazz musicians,ti Christmas cards and illustrations for jazz flyers. Already drawing and doodling from an early age,Humph trained as a cortoonist at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts in 1947.Through fellow band member,Wally Fawkes,known to the cartoon world as 'Trog',he secured a job as column breaker for the Daily Mail newspaper.And although his career as a cartoonist was relatively short as he went on to become one of the greatest jazz musicians in the UK,he kept doodling and sketching at every opportunity - on the back of envelopes,in margins of books,as well as more formal work,such as sketches of the Clue team and album covers. In this unique collection we can enjoy these cartoons,drawn in his own inimitable style - witty,clever and unassuming - along with his compelling stories that surround his subjects. Poignant,fascinating and highly enjoyable,this little book is a hand-drawn memory of a life.
