Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Prince Charles, who has been painting for 23 years, calls his watercolors 'immediate and very amateur," and most of them do seem to function best as personal souvenirs of farms, windmills, cottages and rugged landscapes. Yet in some of the 73 paintings reproduced here he proves much more than a mere literalist. One need only look at the Turneresque beauty of Looking Towards Mar Lodge in the Rain, the dancing Dufyesque color of Andraitxyes.gs Harbour or the delicate shimmering poetry of Countryside Around Abbeystead. The prince's chatty, unpretentious facing-page commentaries accompany each plate. Along with atmospheric vistas of the English and Scottish countrysides are often serendipitous views of Italy, France, the Turkish coast, a Hong Kong bay and an ancient Jordanian city. Nature's majesty quietly shines through in the best of these pictures.

From Library Journal

The watercolor sketches of the British traveler are a familiar form of recording sights and scenes. Working in this long tradition, not unlike his forebear Queen Victoria, Prince Charles has produced a charming portfolio of images depicting the countryside he knows so well and has been making strong efforts to preserve. The works are small, intimate, and well realized. The writing is less polished; although an attempt is made to familiarize the reader with the locales and give a bit of background, the ingenuous style is unfortunate. In general, though, the book is well done. Its proceeds are to go to the Prince of Wales's favorite charities, the protection of the environment and architectural preservation. This is primarily for public libraries.

    I absolutely love this book and I'm so glad that I bought it. It's a really unique table book that is quite substantial. I wasn't quite sure what to expect but it bested my expectations. The cover was in a bit rougher shape than described but not to the point where it was a serious issue. The book overall was in beautiful condition.

    The vendor shipped this item very quickly and it shipped in safe manner to ensure the integrity of the piece. I would definitely buy from them again.

    I'm a big Prince Charles fan and I also love watercolour painting. This is one of those books you leaf through on a quiet afternoon while listening to some soothing music and sipping a cup of English tea. The Prince really has a feel for the delicate and ephemeral medium of watercolour, carrying on a long tradition of great English watercolourists. I'm sure Charles's talent was lost on the crass and puerile tastes of a Princess Diana. Long live Bonnie Prince Charlie!
