I have a copy of the narrow boat recipes in that series. <br /><br />You might be interested to go to Pendon model railway sometime (Oxfordshire) as that has a massive layout which is modelled on Oxon/Wilts in the 1930s, the level of detail is absolutely astonishing and you can absolutely get the atmosphere of how it was - remote, rustic, untouched. <br /><br />The archaeology tours you mentioned on my blog sound great by the way - may consider that option another time as the more you know the more you want to konw!Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32992882.post-53982348868501967892012-01-23T15:54:44.793+00:002012-01-23T15:54:44.793+00:00Lovely post!

I love the colours he uses and his painting style, and of course, the rural subjects he painted, the thatched cottages and the leafy lanes. I didn't know that he is included in cookbooks too!

I spent many hours there and of course always stop by when home for a visit, even though it's more commercialized now. <br /><br />I love Mr. Quinton's paintings - that is a great collection you have, especially the county cookbooks, delightful Rowan.

I know I haven't been able to visit some blogs or comment, but having your blog lock down on you is just terrible.<br />I love the paintings in the books. It reminds me of the series The cottage garden by Geoff Hamilton. I love that series and have it on dvd. A lot of those old cottages were shown in that series. Very beautiful. I felt so very sad when Geoff died. He had an eye for old things and was very practical.<br />I'm sure he loved the paintings by Quinton too ; )<br />Have a wonderful weekend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32992882.post-28889603824792461482012-01-21T13:38:09.299+00:002012-01-21T13:38:09.299+00:00I have 2 of those little books, with AR Quintons i...I have 2 of those little books, with AR Quintons illustrations in them.

Landscape painters, we have, but no one with similar talent who concentrated on 19th century small town and rural life…though perhaps that's just my lack of knowledge showing. I hope so; I'd like to think there's something similar in books and paintings waiting for me to stumble across. <br /><br />BTW, I've really enjoy the posts on your books. I hope you continue sharing an annotated brose of your library.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32992882.post-46513884471172822982012-01-21T00:37:47.683+00:002012-01-21T00:37:47.683+00:00I love anything about England - love the paintings...I love anything about England - love the paintings and the books.

It is delightful to visit via blog. I have long suspected that the England I picture in my mind from years of reading, is not, for the most part, the countryside that now exists. Cities don't appeal to me--it is the rural places that draw me in. Quinton's paintings are so fresh--one can almost step quietly into the scene.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32992882.post-87870007659736290552012-01-21T00:13:38.383+00:002012-01-21T00:13:38.383+00:00Lovely books Rowan.
