Darren Clarke, from Small Wonder, the only short story festival in the country, based in Firle, Lewes, sent us news of a upcoming appearance by the great cartoonist, Gerald Scarfe.

Tall Stories
There are many ways to tell a long story in a succinct manner, one of which is the art of the cartoon. Gerald Scarfe’s controversial career as a satirical cartoonist ranges from Churchill to Brown, domestic posturing to international strife, and political ambition to scandal and disaster. His entertaining, illustrated talk coincides with the publication of a new book, and a major exhibition of his work at the Houses of Parliament. Is a Scarfe lampoon both feared and coveted in Westminster? Gerald Scarfe has worked for the The Sunday Times and the The New Yorker for many years.
The talk is on Sunday 21st September and starts at 4pm. Tickets are £8.
