Collingwood, who worked for years at John Ruskin’s side, writes about the man through the things he left behind. Chapters take up Ruskin’s chair at Coniston, his “Jump”, his gardening, his old road, his cashbook, his love of the Ilaria tomb at Lucca and the maps he drew as a boy, alongside his childhood copying of Cruikshank’s etchings.
An intimate, gently humorous portrait for readers of Ruskin and of the Lake District. Download the free EPUB.
