The cartoonist Norman Thelwell's entertaining guide to the property market. Highlights Thelwell's humour and enduring appeal.
The artist Norman Thelwell (1923–2004) was famous for his horse and pony cartoons, but his work was far more wide ranging. He focused his exceptional talent and humour on many diverse subjects, with his witty and wry observations providing amusement and sharp social comment.
'This Desirable Plot' is the artist’s inimitable guide to navigating the property market and buying or selling a house. First published in 1970, it introduces prospective purchasers and sellers to estate agents’ jargon, gives cautionary advice on country cottages and the perils of any projects involving conversion or renovation. From structural surveys to rising damp and dry rot to roof repairs, this is an entertaining look at finding the ideal home and moving up the property ladder.

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).
