I thought this book was very well written and provided some fascinating information on the early life of "Bobby Jones" as he was always called. My friend and I were both taught life drawing by him and I only wish there had been more examples of his draughtsmanship in the book, for which he had a marvellous ability as well as for his portrait sculpture. We knew him in the late 50's before he had made the sculpture of Winston Churchill for which he is most known. The photograph of him in the front of the book is just like he was at the time we knew him. He could be quite scathing about ones drawing in the life room- sometimes tearing off his example drawing of the model from the corner of ones paper. Both my friend and I own drawings by him which he had left behind in the life room.
My friend is at present very ill and is unable to read very well but even so she was thrilled to receive the book as it brought back so many memories of "Bobby Jones" at Goldsmiths' College in the 50's
