Coming Home - Couverture rigide

From 1930 until shortly before his death, he shared with countless readers, listeners and viewers his remarkably catholic passion for books, people and places. Coming home gathers together a selection from over four decades of his writing about buildings, townscape and landscape, together with appreciation of writers, artists and architects ranging from Evelyn Waugh, Pugin and T S Eliot to R S Thomas, Fredrick Etchells and Jacob Epstein. Candida Lycett Green's prefaces to each section of this book provide invaluable insight into the context in which these pieces were writen by one of the century's most eloquent champions of beautiful, unusual and often unloved places and buildings.
