Paris in August

His drawings have been reproduced on postage stamps; in 1982 he won an award for creating the most beautiful stamp in the world"". In his poignant and playful diary of a month in Paris in the empty days of August, ""George reacts as a happy habitué rather than a goggle-eyed tourist, relishing the Paris scene at this time of year for its singularity, drained of Parisians and flooded with foreigners"" - The Times. ""His glittering, ironic eye drinks in the beauty, the colours and the nonsense around him"" - Daily Telegraph.
