This is a book about two individuals but it is also about the texture and look of England, about an English way of life and a search for an English vision. For John Piper was an artist and writer, printmaker and photographer whose work changes the way we look at, and think about English art, landscape, and buildings, and who helped bring about a sea-change in the public's appreciation of the countryside and our architectural heritage. Though John Piper, a hugely popular artist, has reached far into the hearts and minds of many, the full breadth and richness of his life and career is here revealed for the first time, while his wife Myfanwy emerges as a woman of legendary wisdom and originality.
