The Wayward Leunig is a superb companion volume to Michael Leunig's The Essential Leunig, featuring another 400 definitive cartoons spanning five decades.

Michael Leunig found the process of selecting just 400 pieces for 2012's The Essential Leunig so difficult that he set aside another 400 for a subsequent volume. Just like those first 400, the cartoons in The Wayward Leunig – Cartoons That Wandered Off have been selected from five decades of work and are just as wide-ranging, potent, hilarious, insightful, relevant, original, and beautiful.

A companion to volume one in format and extent, this collection is a must-have for Leunig fans.
