Black and white and colour illustrations.  Rex Whistler was one of the most gifted figures of the inter-war years, an artist in whose work the romantic and the humorous met in a unique way,  In this beautifully written and carefully researched book Laurence Whistler, the writer and glass engraver, recalls his elder brother with love but with detachment, intimately and often with humour.
