Colour frontispiece, hors-texte plates with photographs and drawings by Beaton, text illustrations by Beaton, Rex Whistler, Christian Bérard and others. "Ashcombe" is the name of the country house in the Wiltshire Downs whose lease Cecil Beaton held for fifteen years from 1930. In this book Mr. Beaton has wonderfully succeeded in recreating the atmosphere of those days: the period when the house and garden were being made over from their former unkempt and derelict state into the idyllic home which they later became; the day-to-day life of the house and of the servants and friends who did so much to create the atmosphere; the week-ends, when there would be visits from Rex Whistler, Edith Olivier, Augustus John, Tilly Losch, Lord David Cecil, and so many others; and the parties and fetes-champetres, occasions which are likely never to be forgotten either by the guests or their host'. Beaton was said to be heartbroken when his lease to Ashcombe expired in 1945 and this book is his ode to the house and the good-times experienced there.

Kept Her Attention Immediately
Format: Hardcover
I bought this for my niece’s little daughter, and she absolutely loved it. She played with it, looked through it over and over, and was completely engaged with it, which honestly says everything. Keeping a little child’s attention is not always easy, so I was very impressed with how much she enjoyed it. The quality is excellent too — very vibrant, colorful, durable, and beautifully made. It feels sturdy enough to hold up well with little hands while still being attractive and fun to look at. Overall, a wonderful purchase and a really great gift for a child.

Fun, Interactive Sound Book for Toddlers
Format: Hardcover
My daughter loves this book and especially enjoys pushing the buttons to hear the animal sounds. We aren’t quite old enough to match the pictures to the buttons yet, but she has so much fun pressing them and mimicking the animal noises, which makes this a great early learning experience. The bright Eric Carle illustrations are engaging, and the interactive buttons keep little hands busy. A wonderful toddler-friendly sound book that grows with your child and encourages sensory play and language development.

Great Book for Engagement and Following Directions
Format: Hardcover
Great book! I use it to teach animals and following directions, and it keeps the kids engaged. I covered mine with contact paper because it is delicate. The pages are nicely printed with a glossy finish, but they are made of thin paper.
