The Cartoonist by Betsy Byars Hardcover (Viking Press 1978) – no dust jacket – ex-library with stampings and card pocket - outer covers have some wear and soil – top and bottom edges of spine are worn and spine is faded – a couple of small, light stains on front cover – otherwise book is in good condition.
Alfie lives with his mother, grandfather and sister. Alfie's only interest in life is to draw cartoons. He draws at night, at school and any other time he can manage to sneak away. In the evening, he climbs up to the attic and closes the world of his loud abusive obnoxious mother behind so he can draw and dream about a better life. Betsy Byars does a wonderful job of realistically portraying a grim world with an alcoholic mother and grandfather who do nothing but argue and watch television. You will root for Alfie as he tries to control his little world and keep it out of the hands of the irritating mother who fails to understand his artistic interests.
