The Last Englishman: The Double Life of Arthur Ransome - Biography of British Author & Spy | Perfect for History Buffs & Literary Enthusiasts

A good book is far more than printed lines on on a bound stack of paper, it must also be well-crafted, delight the eye, satisfy the touch, and be worth a permanent place on even the most discerning of bookshelves: The Last Englishman meets each of these criteria in spades; so a sincere hat-tip to David Godine its publisher. Such a meticulous craftsman is only likely to choose comparable authors for his imprint, which earns a second hat-tip to Roland Chambers who wrote this engaging biography of Arthur Ransome - Bohemian London author, popular journalist, and ambiguous MI6 agent during the Bolshevik Revolution. If any of these aspects of early-c20th Europe are of interest, then The Last Englishman will prove to be a solid investment of time and money.
