I had just re-visited my entry for Lancaster's "Pillar to post" when I looked at your comments. May I recommend his "Classical Landscape with figures"? I lived in Greece for several years and had to give my first copy to a retired Greek general and polymath who designed his own house in Athens. He took one look at it and said "I know these people!" He could have been THE top general but instead retired and wrote articles for the papers. Best wishes, Gibbon

Thank you for thinking my library interesting.

Considering the number of books you have entered so far, we do have an unusual number of odd books in common - e.g The Country House at War and The Inspiration of the Past. I confidently expect you to enter some Osbert Lancaster fairly soon. A good guess?!!

Ha! Great user name for a Powell fan! You are one of only a few. He is sadly underrepresented here on LT.
