Description:
An Edwardian Summer by John S. Goodall offers a nostalgic and beautifully illustrated journey into the leisurely life of the Edwardian period. Through delicate watercolors and carefully crafted details, Goodall captures the essence of early 20th-century English countryside life. The book, originally published in 1976, presents a sequence of picturesque and often humorous scenes that reflect both the charm and simplicity of the Edwardian era. This edition, published by Macmillan in 1977, includes a foreword by Harold Macmillan.

The book features Goodall’s signature wordless storytelling, where the illustrations do most of the narrative work. His meticulous attention to detail in the pastoral settings, homes, and clothing of the time gives readers a visual treat.

Goodall, a British artist and illustrator, was known for his works on the Edwardian era and for creating wordless children's books. His ability to depict historical eras with precision and charm made his works highly sought after.
