Description: Before he joined the staff of Punch and designed its iconic front cover, illustrator Richard "Dicky" Doyle was a young man whose father (political caricaturist John Doyle) charged him with sending a weekly letter, even though they lived under the same roof.
Review Quotes: "This beautifully presented book contains for the first time the complete series of fifty-three illustrated letters written to his father by Richard Doyle, the 'precocious boy' who would become famous for his Punch drawings [...] Their reproduction here in all their elusive detail, scrupulously annotated by the editor, is both pleasurable and educative." --Times Literary Supplement
