A very good copy in a very good dust jacket.

A.R. QUINTON WAS ONE OF THE FEW IN HIS DAY WHO REALIZED NOT ONLY THAT ENGLAND'S VILLAGES AND COUNTRYSIDE HAD A UNIQUE CHARM, BUT ALSO THAT THEY WERE UNDER THREAT. ON HIS BICYCLE HE EXPLORED THE LENGTH AND BREADTH OF THE COUNTRY AND IN HIS WATERCOLOURS HE HAS PRESERVED A RECORD OF THE BEAUTY HE FEARED MIGHT BE DESTROYED AND LOST FOREVER.
