Generations have grown up with Don Freeman's picture books, and many of today's parents are reading aloud the same favourite books that they loved as children. In this welcome collection, eleven of Freeman's most appealing tales are collected in one edition. One story, Gayelord the Goat, has never before been published and is seen here for the first time, along with the illustrations Don Freeman was completing when he died. Renowned critic Leonard S. Marcus offers insight into Freeman's work, and an afterword tells the story of the artist's colourful life, from trumpet player to theater illustrator to children's book legend. Corduroy and Company is a wonderful book to share with children, who will ask for story after story. But it is also a fascinating look at the career of a man who was one of the most influential artists of his time.

'Unquestionably the king of comic writing' Guardian 'His best, funniest, most satisfying book' Time Out In Dress Your Family in Corduroy & Denim, David Sedaris lifts the corner of ordinary life, revealing the absurdity teeming below its surface. His world is alive with obscure desires and hidden motives - a world where forgiveness is automatic and an argument can be the highest form of love. This book finds one of the wittiest and most original writers at work today at the peak of his powers. 'Sardonic, funny, and wry, but at the same time there is a new strain of introspection that makes for a book with more emotional resonance... A Chekhovian brand of comedy' New York Times 'Like an updated Thurber: domestic, laconic, slightly warped but never bitter, and extremely funny' Sunday Times 'A delight' Sunday Telegraph
