Description

Peter Jones – Seren, 2011

Sculptor, painter, letter cutter, glass maker, novelist, art educationalist: in many ways Jonah Jones was a self-taught Twentieth Century Renaissance man. His son and biographer, the former BBC journalist Peter Jones, who in the 1970s worked as a letter cutter in the Jonah Jones Workshop, wrote this affectionate but always objective account of “a story that deserves to be told: how the man developed, what he experienced, his many achievements.” Scattered throughout the text are fascinating historic photographs, and there is a 16-page colour insert. Foreword by Jan Morris.

Seren have kindly transferred the remainder of their stocks of the book to Scene & Word.
