‘Illustrated books are not just for children’Illustrated books are not just for children and this week’s illustrated books cover everything from cookery to the great outdoors, from history and architecture to art and fancy writing. The result is this spellbinding, lavishly illustrated tome, presenting profoundly beautiful ecosystems that we’re barely holding on to. A really lovely book, it would make a really lovely present. Our neutrality did not preclude us from the suffering, and we too were sent our ration books, while everything from food to fabrics was in short supply. It’s a little piece of balm for the soul – a thoughtful, contemplative and useful book that would make a great gift.
