'The ominous picture on your nursery wallhas oftern made you wonder what might allthose clustered roofs ascending up a hillwell cover in of good or sad or ill.'�In Reading into the Picture Edward James provides the reader with a lengthy introduction and parts one and two of an epic poem. He indicates that there will be a 'Part IIIIII before the action can have run its full course.' The text is illustrated with line drawings by Jorg (Yorck) von Reppert-Bismarck. He and his wife Jack are perhaps best known for providing two of the circus figures in Cecil Beaton's Circus Bedroom at Ashcombe.
