Description:Excerpt from Old Manor Houses The proper anti logical way of composing a picture-book is for the author first to tell his story in the text, and for the artist afterwards to illustrate what the writer's brains and pen have developed and described. In this book I ant forced to put the cart before the horse. The pictures must tell the story, in the first place, and the text be but an accessory - a film reel with captions added by the producer! No deep antiquarian or architectural knowledge must therefore be expected, but just a few facts and impressions gathered during weeks, and sometimes months, spent in the atmosphere of these old houses, and in many cases jotted down as notes on the margin of sketches. I present, then, in text and picture, my sketchbook of old houses. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
