Description

Delightful memoir of rail travel in the first part of the 20th century by a youngster who went on to fight in the trenches in WW1 and reach a senior staff position at the War office in WW2. As a boy , John Faviel produced sketches and water colours of the scenes he encountered on his many trips around the British isles on steam trains: To Broadstairs on the SE&CR, to Bath by GWR, to Rugeley by LNWR and through the highlands of Scotland among others. Charm and nostalgia seep from every artwork and every description of this long vanished world. 112 large pages, illustrated cover boards, fine condition
