Editorial Reviews

Review

Highly enjoyable. Financial Times This book ... is a vivid record of a house at the centre of an artistic movement Independent Penrose's book is a delight - informative, well structured and concise. Argus Now available in paperback form although not a paperback as we know it. It's a big, handsome volume, beautifully made and over-flowing with especially commissioned photographs by Alen MacWeeney, alongside iconic photographs from the Lee Miller archive. ETC Magazine --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

First Sentence:
Although today we tend to think of Surrealism in terms of the witty juxtapositions or dreamlike images of the painters, the movement was born out of literature. Read the first page
