Heath Robinson′s Second World War – The Satirical Cartoons

by Geoffrey Beare (Author), Geoffrey Beare (Author), W.heath Robinson (Author)

Synopsis

Soldiers disguised as a herd of cows, cork bath mats for troops crossing streams and a tank with a piano attachment for camp concerts are just some of the absurd inventions to be found in this book of cartoons designed to keep spirits up during the Second World War. These intricate comic drawings poke gentle fun at both the instruments of war and the indignity of the air-raid shelter in Heath Robinson's inimitable style.
