Trade-size paperback
1961, Cornerstone Library, illustrated
Condition: very good
How Sir Winston S. Churchill first took to painting and discovered the sheer delight to be derived from this pastime is told in this brilliant book. It will appeal to all who are interested in painting, as well as to his vast circle of friends and admirers. In this book, golf, reading, carpentry and bridge all pass under review, only to pale before the great adventure of painting. "I know of nothing," writes Sir Winston, "which more entirely absorbs the mind"; and he describes how, at a moment of great stress and when he was past the age of forty, the Muse of Painting came to his rescue. Includes a section of some of Sir Winston's paintings.
