"Oliver's cartoons bring a smile to my face no matter how often I look at them. The themes are as achingly funny as the drawings are exquisite."Jilly Cooper

"FONDUES and FURS"

lifts the lid on skiing in the Swiss Alps with this witty new book that satirises the famous and exclusive alpine resort of Gstaad, where fur coated and feisty, the jet set balance the finer art of shopping with skiing, and trill to Gstaad's social mores. They ski hard during the day, and play hard every night, and enjoy a cocktail of fondues and raclettes, of exclusive clubs and chalet hopping.

"For us old timers in Gstaad, Oliver Preston's humour really captures the essence of the village." Taki Theodoracopulos

"Gstaad is a village you can simply fall in love with and Oliver Preston, as a regular since 1965, can understand that. He has an infallible British sense of humour - of the very best."

"Oliver Preston is a wise man. He gave up bond-dealing to draw cartoons. Anyone can be a bond-dealer but to be a cartoonist you need not only a gift for drawing but wit, a wry knowledge of human nature, and a capacity to pierce prejudices, passions, persiflage, pretension and pomposity. Oliver Preston makes the world a happier place." Kenneth Baker
