Nevil Shute was a writer whose books were looked down on by literary critics and yet when he died he was one of the best selling novelists of his day. Books such as A Town Like Alice and On the Beach still attract new generations of fans and unlike others of his era his novels are still in print. However there was far more to the man than his books

We can ask little more of an landscape painter than to provide in paint not only what we have seen with our own eyes, but to capture the very essence of a scene ¿ to feel when we gaze upon a painting the warming sun on our face and to hear the sigh of the wind distant in the trees. In Down an English Lane, Richard Thorn has chosen that most iconic feature of our rural landscape to remind us how delightful and inspiring even the most familiar scenery can be. Whilst the majority of paintings included here represent settings from his native Westcountry, the imagery will be familiar to all of us who share the artist¿s enjoyment of wandering down our country lanes. Here history and nature are entwined among the rambling hedgerows and winding roads that stamp upon the landscape an unruly maze of byways, marking it as unmistakably English. Through each season the artist charts the annual changes that transform autumnal rust to winter¿s steel, then change again to the first fresh greenery of spring and on to golden summer days. For all those who love the countryside, for those who appreciate the artist¿s skill in capturing in paint the quintessence of a scene, this book will prove a lasting treasure.
