BRUCE STEVENSON - Middlesex

London England, B. T. Batsford Ltd, 1972. First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0713400706 Hardback Middlesex is today amongst the least known of counties. Few people could define its boundaries and fewer still are aware of the treasures, particularly of architecture, which it contains. Before beginning this book, the author (who has known Middlesex all his life) made a series of journeys through the county and so has been able to write with the freshness of someone who has recently had a critical and sympathetic look at the area. What Mr. Stevenson saw of Middlesex is a matter sometimes of delight, sometimes of surprise, sometimes sorrow. With its plentiful illustrations the book succeeds to an unusual degree in combining information with pleasure. Illustrated. Ex-Library with stamps.
