The four books about Dorset by artist and printmaker Rena Gardiner (1929-1999) are now regarded as some of the most unusual books about the county to have been published. A one-woman cottage industry, she wrote the text, drew the illustrations and printed and bound the books herself. "Dorset: The Isle of Purbeck" is considered by many to be her finest achievement. In it, PUrbeck's villages, landscapes and cost are brought vividly to life with the colour and exuberance that were the hallmarks of Rena Gardiner's extraordinary style. This new edition includes biographical notes and an introduction to the methods by which Rena Gardiner worked..
