Natures Engraver by Jenny Uglow
Tells the story of the farmer's son from Tyneside who never courted fame yet revolutionised wood-engraving and influenced book illustration for a century to come. This is a story of violent change and radical politics, of Newcastle and the Tyne, workshops and family life, mines and fells, and the sea and the fierce west winds.
Jenny Uglow grew up in Cumbria, and now works in publishing. Her books include prize-winning biographies of Elizabeth Gaskell and William Hogarth. The Lunar Men, published in 2002, was described in the Observer as 'a spectacular, epic book ... Never has the eighteenth century come so much to life,' while her most recent book, A Little History of British Gardening, was called 'a delight from beginning to end' in the Observer. She lives in Canterbury.
