Oxford
H. Casson

Oxford for Sir Hugh Casson, the artist, writer and award-winning architect, remained, despite its well-documented fame, a city of secret places and continual surprise. In this charming book Sir Hugh records - in words and pictures - his very personal impressions of Oxford. Here you will find not only the famous secluded quadrangles, silent libraries and pinnacled chapels that compose each college but also their less familiar architectural features. So evocative and keenly observed are these watercolours and so enjoyable the witty and informative texts accompanying them that every visitor (even those who believe they know Oxford well) will be prompted to look at this city afresh and find new pleasure in so doing.'Two enchanting books celebrating the cities, their secluded quadrangles and glorious chapels. Sir Hugh's engaging text and evocative watercolours bring the cities to life.' (Heritage Today)
