Life Without Father in the Twenties and Thirties

Braunton, Devon: Merlin Books Ltd, 1987. 220 x 143 mm. Very Good. pp62. Author's inscription on title page 'With love and best wishes L J Ross'. Very good, a little browning and creasing to wrappers. A personal biography of life in a one-parent family in early 20th century England. We have recently acquired the library of Harry Horlock Stringer who was a leading British potter at the old Fulham Pottery in the 1950's where he concentrated on earthenware. Later he moved to Taggs Yard in Barnes, south west London, where he built and ran his own school, welcoming pupils and making friends such as Ginger Rogers from across the world at a time when studio pottery was enjoying newfound popularity. Stringer experimented with his own glazes and firing techniques, and wrote a book on Raku, becoming a Fellow of the Craft Potters Association, editing the association's journal for a time and exhibiting widely as well as lecturing at home and abroad.
