St. John Hornby's inspiration for the press and later his wife. The description of viewing all the Ashendene Press books on vellum is mouth-watering. After visiting Mrs. Hornby they went on to visit her son Michael at his home Pusey House and saw the wonderful collections and gardens there, all well described in the text. A rare example of a private press book being biographical and giving context to a great private press.
