Well cared for copyFirst published in 1980 and pbk in 1983, this copy is a 1986 reprint. "Prince Charles wrote this story in the early 1970s to amuse his younger brothers on a voyage. An old man who lives in a cave falls into Loch Lochnagar, and goes hunting underwater with "the Scottish fresh water version of Neptune." ("You see he could breathe underwater because he had amphibian nostrils and webbed eyebrows.") Next the old man sneezes himself, rocket-style, to the top of Lochnagar mountain, where a grunting eagle (grunting because "this particular eagle was a pig-eagle") takes him for a ride. A frog takes him home. Later, he is carried by "twelve huge cock capercaillie" to Loch Muick, where two ospreys catch trout for him. He drinks a shrinking formula and visits the cairn home of the tiny neighboring people called Gorms. ("That is why people living in Scotland who don't have Gorms on their hills are called 'gormless.' ") Then he boards a train for London but ends up back home in his cave, where he enjoys his ingenious bagpipe-powered 'loo. The deft line and watercolor illustrations rate a droller tale.'

A well-preserved first edition of this increasingly collected royal children's book. The book A comic Highland fantasy set around Lochnagar and Balmoral. An old man living in a cave by the loch attempts to climb the cliff, is launched into the air by an enormous sneeze, is carried off by a "pig-eagle", meets the Gorms, and eventually decides that London can wait. The story began as a tale told by the then Prince of Wales to his younger brothers, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward, during a voyage on HMY Britannia. It was first published in November 1980. Later adaptations include a 1993 BBC animated short (narrated by Prince Charles, with Robbie Coltrane as the old man), a Jackanory reading, and a National Youth Ballet production. The author Written by H.R.H. The Prince of Wales (born 1948), later King Charles III. This is his only children's book. It reflects his long attachment to Balmoral, the Scottish landscape, and a lightly satirical, inventive humour. Publication in aid of his charities made the book both a royal souvenir and a period piece of early-1980s children's publishing. The illustrator Sir Hugh Maxwell Casson K.C.V.O. (1910-1999), architect, interior designer, watercolourist and President of the Royal Academy (1976-1984). Director of Architecture for the 1951 Festival of Britain; knighted 1952; KCVO 1978. A close friend of the Royal Family, he designed interiors for the Royal Yacht Britannia and is often credited with encouraging Prince Charles's interest in watercolour. His loose, witty Highland scenes — tartan knickerbockers, grouse, eagles, caves and Balmoral glimpsed from the air — give the book its distinctive look. Casson also illustrated Betjeman and published several of his own sketchbooks of London, Oxford and Cambridge. Bibliographic note First UK edition. Later reprints and a Puffin paperback exist; this is the original Hamish Hamilton hardcover in the matching pictorial jacket. Copies with the 1980 first-issue jacket remain the most sought-after form of the book.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The rural landscape of England and Wales in the mid-nineteenth century is minutely depicted in the large-scale plans and schedules drawn for the Tithe Commissioners. Among other features shown on the maps are field boundaries and rights of way, whilst the accompanying schedules record the names of owners and occupiers, field names, land use and area. The amount of detailed information they provide, together with their uniformity, place the surveys as the most complete record of the agrarian landscape at any period. This book describes the nature of tithe payments, the Tithe Commutation Act of 1836 and the survey of over 11,000 parishes. The uses made of the surveys for reconstructing early field systems, for tracing land use and understanding farming practices, are systematically considered, The abstraction, computer processing and mapping of vast quantities of data are discussed.…
