    This is a superb book, well illustrated throughout, and very substantial at over 500 pages. Spalding has spent years researching this book, covering as it does the joint lives of the British artist John Piper (1903-92) and his wife Myfanwy, the latter perhaps best known as one of John Betjeman's many muses. The many facets of Piper's work (artist, potter, stained glass designer, author, editor etc, etc) are covered in clear chronological detail, drawing on interviews with the Piper's friends and relatives. This book offers excellent value for money and is thoroughly recommended.
