DESCRIPTION:
This glorious essay exudes his compulsion for a hobby that allowed him peace during his dark days, and richly rewarded a nation with a treasure trove of work.. Picking up a paintbrush for the first time at the age of forty, Winston Churchill found in painting a passion that was to remain his constant companion. The perfect antidote to his 'Black Dog', a depression that blighted his working life, Churchill took to painting with gusto
The 2013 Unicorn Press Edition Lacks Plates of Churchill's Paintings polymetis In what was a great disappointment, I discovered that the 2013 Unicorn Press re-print of this excellent book does *not* include the plates of Churchill's paintings. All of the used editions I've seen include those plates in color.. Marty Damon said Not well described. The amazon description did not make it clear this book is text only. There are no photos of Churchills paintings in this book. Total disappointment when I discovered that fact after receiving the book. I am really irked at Amazon for not making this clear before I pushed the order button. Sorely disappointed. Heather B. I am very disappointed in this TINY bookThe description didn't make it clear that this is all prose and nothing more. It is a very small format and there are NO paintings. Too much money for 96 tiny pages with none of his paintings. I will return it.
