People of the Day is an annual volume of brilliant caricatures of the rich and famous.
Famous people profiled in Volume 1 include The Queen, Professor David Bellamy, Sir Elton John and Dame Stella Rimington. Volume 2 includes the likes of Sir Mick Jagger, Gordon Brown, Bill Nighy and Dame Kelly Holmes and Gordon Ramsay. In Volume 3 you can find the likes of Boris Johnson, Ian Hislop, Sir Alex Ferguson, Delia Smith, General Sir Mike Jackson and Sir David Attenborough. 
Each book containes 52 caricatures each accompanied by a mini-biography giving a fascinating synopsis of their lives and careers. An eclectic selection of individuals from royalty to politicians, entrepreneurs, authors, actors, comedians, sports and television personalities and those from the education and charity sector.
There will be debate and criticism over who has been included and who has been left out. What is it that makes people famous? For an entrepreneur, it is because they never give up and always go the extra mile, leaving no stone unturned and treating every setback as an opportunity. For others, perhaps, it is their sheer ambition, determination and never being prepared to take no for an answer, together with the confidence in themselves that they can achieve their aims. Each of those profiled in People of the Day has shown in one form or another that kind of determination and or self belief that has made them stand out.
The Author & Artists
As a teenager Peter Wynter Bee started collecting prints of the Spy caricatures which had originally appeared in Vanity Fair, published between 1869 to 1914, which logged the lives of the eminent people of the time.
The idea for the books were inspired by these caricatures and he long cherished a dream of producing a modern day version. His dream became a reality in 2003 when Nick Higton arrived to work as a temp in his office and Peter found him drawing caricatures (instead of working!). Volume 1 was produced and then published in 2004.
In 2006 Peter’s cousin, Lucy, joined the team and contributed many of the caricatures in Volume 2, published in October 2007, and all of those appearing in Volume 3, published in July 2008. Lucy's cartoons and caricatures have appeared in many national newspapers and magazines. She also worked as a journalist, following in the footsteps of her father, broadcaster and writer Kenneth Robinson.
Volume 4 is already in production and will be available in 2009.
