Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Reprint. This title was acquired from the Library of Northern Artist Robert Easton 1936-2023. Bob Eaton was a respected Northern artist whose large catalogue of work reflected a number of painting styles that mainly captured the changing industrial and rural landscap…es of North East Lancashire. His early love of art saw him trained at Accrington Art College in the 1950s and following his Army Service he became a secondary school art teacher in Accrington. Bob gained a growing reputation locally for his work, but he also exhibited Nationally at the Royal Academy in London and at an exhibition of British Artists at the Louvre in Paris in the 1970s.After retiring from teaching there followed a forty year period of prolific output that coincided with an increasing reluctance to sell his work or have any interest in the business side of the art world. This period of deliberate retreat from public recognition conversely saw him in regular correspondence with a number of famous artists of the time. This thirst for knowledge was supplemented by the purchase of a diverse library of hundreds of quality art books, used by him for reference, learning and for the pleasure of reading and examining the artists' work.A prolific collector of books; a visitor of galleries and an exchanger of ideas with some of the greats of 20th century British Art. He was a lifelong true lover of his subject. Foremost however, he was also a very capable and talented practitioner in his own right, painting from hundreds of sketches made in all weathers on the dark fields and streets of his native county. Shunning the limelight that his ability probably warranted, he leaves behind him, a considerable and interesting library of books and a large catalogue of excellent paintings, hidden from the public for four decades and which exists largely intact following his death in 2023.This book is a Fine Copy in a Near Fine Dust-Jacket.The book has a firm binding and with no hinge weakness.Lovely copy to own for the collector especially with the added provenance of it coming from the private collection of Robert Eaton,4to Reprint 2009. Ardizzone, Edward (illustrator).

Add to basketThird printing (the first & second were in 1960 & 1971, with pictorial papered boards and jackets, but this third printing was published with laminated (glazed) boards and I suspect, as usual for the time, with no dustjacket). Hardcover. Quarto-size. Endpapers noticeably foxed (not extending to inner pages), otherwise very good.… Wonderful colour illustrations by Ardizzone for this story (one of his less well-known ones) of a small boy ("clever at making things.") and his parents and disbelieving peer group (except for a little girl his age), and most local shop-keepers and tradesmen, all of whom are downright rude and discouraging about Johnny's plan to make a grandfather clock, from scratch. Last laugh goes to the bright and dogged child! And hoorah to the blacksmith who helped.
