What could be more of the moment than the book title Women Painters of the World, from the Time of Caterina Vigri, 1413–1463, to Rosa Bonheur and the Present Day?

Nothing, except that the moment when Walter Shaw Sparrow published it was 1905. Then, when women are supposed to have been airbrushed from art history, he was able to detail over 200, admittedly mostly from the 19th century.

Review

Part travel writing, part inspirational walking guide, with 15 maps to serve walkers with a historical leaning. An attractive hardback with Bayeux tapestry design cover. Bookseller In his other life, Mallalieu is an expert on watercolours and the salesroom writer for Country Life, but he clearly also has a talent for travel writing. He deftly weaves the account of his own trip through a contemporary landscape with the story of Harold and his army, and the text is rich in historical detail. His approach to the topics he covers is winning and catholic, as he examines everything from stately homes to football chants, power stations to full english breakfasts. He illustrates his book with some quirky hand-drawn maps, as well as Old English magic charms, snatches of poetry and even recipes, to create an engaging and rather original portrait of England and Englishness. Sunday Telegraph An enjoyable and unusual look at medieval and modern Britain through the eyes of an author who writes in a lively and accessible style. Huon's honesty throughout the walk makes this a fascinating read, and following his account of the walk is almost like listening to a friend talk. www.suite101.com Reading this book is like going off for a week with a favourite uncle who can sing, drink and ch
