Poignant, funny, and utterly original, Ethel & Ernest is Raymond Briggs's loving depiction of his parents' lives from their chance first encounter in the 1920s until their deaths in the 1970s.
Ethel and Ernest were solid members of the English working class, part of the generation that lived through the most tumultuous years of the twentieth century. They met during the Depression--she working as a maid, he as a milkman--and we follow them as they court and marry, make a home, raise their son, and cope with the dark days of World War II. Briggs's portrayal of how his parents succeeded, or failed, in coming to terms with the events of their rapidly shifting world--the advent of radio, television, and telephones; the development of the atomic bomb; the moon landing; the social and political turmoil of the sixties--is irresistibly engaging, full of sympathy and affection, yet clear-eyed and unsentimental.
Briggs's illustrations are small masterpieces; coupled with the wonderfully candid dialogue, they evoke the exhilaration and sorrow, excitement and bewilderment, of experiencing such enormous changes. As much a social history as a personal account, Ethel & Ernest is a moving tribute to ordinary people living in an extraordinary time.
作者简介雷蒙德•布里格斯（Raymond Briggs），英国大师级漫画家、图画书作家。1966年，他凭借《鹅妈妈故事集》获得了凯特•格林威奖章，这是英国儿童图书插画家所能获得的极高奖项。1973年他的《圣诞老爸》再次获得凯特•格林威奖章。他的代表作《雪人》已经成为图画书中的经 典之作，亦曾被国内改编为脍炙人口的动画片《雪孩子》。因其在儿童图书领域的杰出贡献，他曾获得有童书界奥斯卡之称的安徒生奖。此外，他还是第一个入选英国漫画名人堂的插画家。正如《伦敦一家人》中描述的那样，他于1934年出生在伦敦南部的一个工人家庭，父亲是皇家兵工厂的一名送奶工，母亲在结婚前是贵妇人的贴身女仆，两人于1971年相继去世。
