Re: Rural British strangeness in books, music + films

I only discovered Ravilious about three years ago when I found some repro cards up at the Hepworth Gallery and then went delving on the 'net. A great loss, way too soon. Gibbings wood engravings are well worth searching out, in books like Sweet Thames Flow Softly and Lovely Flows The Lee. Another, perhaps the maestro of the genre, was D.J. Watkins-Pitchford, aka 'B.B.' I collect his books too.. and, er, have similar problems to Tiompan. Wood engravings make the British landscape so 'other'. For birds, Charles Tunnicliffe is greatest.
