Book Overview: With over 60 series of Giles - The Collection in circulation, this annual has proven itself as a highly-popular and timeless book that continues to sell well across generations. Giles' reputation as one of the country's best-loved cartoonists was confirmed when he was posthumously given his own exhibition at the Cartoon Museum in London in 2008, along with the honour of being named the 20th century's greatest cartoonist by visitors to the British Cartoon Centre in London.

Media Reviews
Giles is an extremely popular winner across the generations. His books are still selling well after more than 50 years and his humour is not stuck in any particular time frame. He appeals to a very wide cross-section of the public - Paul Gravett, Projects Director of the British Cartoon Trust.
