Little Book of Fred Fred's Life Was Always Full of Drama

by Rupert Fawcett

Rupert Fawcett became a professional cartoonist almost by accident when in 1989 whilst doodling he drew a little bald man in braces and carpet slippers and named him Fred. After receiving over 80 rejection letters he was finally offered a place in Midweek, a free magazine given away at London tube stations. This was soon followed by his first book deal and a contract for Fred greeting cards. These proved very popular and within a short period of time were to be seen in every high street in the country. A range of Fred merchandise followed with a steady succession of books. The cartoons also appeared in a national newspaper for four years. Over nine million Fred cards have been sold in the UK, Australia and New Zealand and they are still going strong today. The Little Book of Fred contains over 120 classic Fred cartoons by Rupert Fawcett.
