About This Item

UK,Qrto HB+dw/dj,1st edn.FINE/FINE.No owner inscrptn though there is a small red ink dot to top corner ffe and no price-clip to dw/dj.Pictorial colour decorated dw/dj by Beningfield; with minimal shelf-wear to edges and very light bumping/creases to head+foot of spine/backstrip.Blue cloth boards with gilt letters to spine/backstrip and plain yellow eps.UK, Qrto HB+dw/dj,1st edn,91pp includes profuse full colour - some full page - illustrations. Beningfield is one of the country's finest and best-loved painters of the English landscape.His campaigning for the English countryside encompasses a passionate concern for the conservation of our villages. Encircled by its rural landscape,the ideal village is made of local materials,with local people and local occupations in mind.But all too often villages no longer reflect their location.For this book,the author went in search of traditional village life,finding special places with interesting architecture,wildlife and country characters.Here he records in words and pictures what he found.Cottages,people,shops,windmills, oast-houses,orchards,churches,ponds - all are delightfully recorded here.And in his quest for the perfect village there were many moments of pure magic:a cricket match,washing on the line in a cottage garden,the laying of a hedge,the discovery of an old-fashioned post office or a surprisingly attractive little garden.The result is a wonderfully evocative and beautiful celebration of the English village in all its glory. Gordon Beningfield began his career as an ecclesiastical artist,but,since the early 1960's,he has built a reputation as a painter of the countryside, and his work has in recent years reached wide audiences through his appearance on television. Beningfield's first book,'Beningfield's Butterflies',was published in 1978 and paved the way for the very popular 'Beningfield's Countryside' (1980),which has appeared in 5 languages,with over 100,000 copies in print.His third book,'Hardy Country',in 1983 was celebrated by major exhibitions in both Dorchester and London,and a film has been made about the painting of the pictures for it.He has designed two sets of stamps for the British Post office, showing butterflies (1981) and other insects (issued in 1985).
