Alan Bennett contributes a perceptive and very personal Foreword to this new biography of the cult 1930s-40s writer and artist, Denton Welch. Welch's writing is like a glass of fine white wine, apparently innocuous and clear but very powerful. This most amazing writer, who died tragically at the age of thirty-three in 1948, is at once artless and incredibly precious. James Methuen-Campbell has researched his subject thoroughly, conducting countless interviews with those who knew Welch. For the first time Welch's work as an artist is also properly considered. The appendices include the first ever publication of the short pieces "The Packing-case House and the Thief", "The Big Field" and "Reading My First Review - In Spring". The biography includes a full bibliography of his writings and a catalogue of all known pictures and illustrations. The book also contains 61 plates, many in full colour, and a colour dustjacket. It will be limited to 500 copies.
