David Fable Books No 1
No full textThere are five stories in this book. I ordered this one for the collection because of the title of the first: The Story of Anna, Buddy, and the Country Mouse. That story is utterly charming, together with its colored lithographs. The author frequently pauses to note to the reader elements of a picture that the reader might miss. There is a first visit to a town, complete with a visit to a restaurant for tea, but in this case the two dogs sit nicely at a table and order, while Homer the mouse gets on top of the table. The three then again travel by bus back to the country. The five stories are interspersed with illustrations for traditional rhymes, including Sing a Song of Sixpence. Indeed, it is the art that makes this book, along with the charm of whimsical local stories. Coppin was serving in the armed forces overseas during World War II and wrote these stories for his son David, to whom the book is dedicated. There is a picture of David facing the Publisher's Introduction at the book's beginning.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Alan Middleton Coppi

"The fidelity of a mirror" : the late 18th and early 19th century landscape at Middleton Hall.
No full textThe intention of this study is to examine evidence for the designed landscape at Middleton Hall, now the site of the National Botanic Garden of Wales, during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Very little documentary evidence remains of Sir William Paxton’s improvements to the estate and there are no plans or letters confirming the involvement of various individuals. However two vital sources of information are still extant. There is a detailed description of a visit to Middleton Hall in 1813 made by the Harcourt Family and an album of watercolours with a plan of the park by Thomas Hornor made in 1815 and still in the possession of Paxton’s descendants. The deconstruction of these two primary sources offers a great deal of information about the landscape at Middleton Hall which was evolving at the juncture between two great movements in landscape design
