| Summary: | "Leaving Home is a portrait of the artist both as a child and as an adult. His parents were not really cut out for the job of having children. ... This is a book about being different and seeing the world differently. It's about being a cartoonist and a care assistant. It's about family. It's about knickerbocker glories and heart surgery, about papier mãachâe and mental breakdown and great white sharks.

It's ...illustrated throughout with images from the author's childhood, some of them altered in unforgiveable ways"-- |
