    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Charles Ricketts (1866–1931) is one of the most intriguing yet least understood figures in British art. He was multi-talented: a book illustrator who founded the short-lived Vale Press, personally creative across a range of media, including sculpture, an exceptionally imaginative theatrical designer, and an author and critic of considerable insight. His letters reveal him in a new light – opinionated, argumentative, witty and articulate. His accounts of London during the Great War are historically valuable, and his sympathies for the young men at the front are touching. His partnership with fellow artist Charles Shannon lasted until his death. This richly-annotated edition of his collected letters thus illuminates English artistic life from the end of the nineteenth century to the early decades of the twentieth.
