Book Review: WWII British Nostalgia by Great Authors & Knitting, too!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is chock full of great authors such as T.S. Eliot and Daphne Du Maurier and Georgette Heyer, all doing their bit for Britain by contributing to this anthology. There are many color plates, some by quite famous artists like DuLac, and beautiful lithographs in black and white as well.
The book is introduced by a frontispiece by Queen Elizabeth (nee Bowen, not Windsor, so this was the Queen Mum when she was queen before Elizabeth II.) It's in her own handwriting.
There is an interesting knitting section in the back by Mary Thomas. A great collector's item for the British history fan or even knitters.
