Product Description

The remarkable photographs in "Forever Engand" were taken at Bekonscot Model Village in Beaconsfield. Initially built by a London accountant to entertain his house guests, it opened to the public in 1929 and is the oldest model village in the world, welcoming close to 200,000 visitors each year. Now a world famous folly, it stands as a tribute to English eccentricity, humour, determination and craftsmanship. Its particular charm is that it presents a vision of England firmly rooted in an idyllic 1930s timewarp. Yet it is its quirkiness that Bailey has captured so stunningly. In wonderful tableaux of everyday life he creates an extraordinarily rich and powerful sense of character and atmosphere. Bekonscot's miniature population of 3,000 people and 300 animals becomes real, their lives frozen in time, as we are carried back to an England we all know and long for - an England of our imaginations - when life was simple, secure, unchanging.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect loo book!, 10 Jul 2006

By	M. J. Betts (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought a copy of Forever England for a friend's birthday after I saw its review in The Observer last week.

What an amazing book! Before it got wrapped I spent an excellent hour compulsively leafing through it, laughing a lot, and feeling like I'd been lifted away to a happier time.

I'm not the kind of person likely to find myself walking around a model village anytime soon. But what this book does that makes it so much fun and even quite moving at times is to explore the characters and scenarios from their own perspective, shooting them usually from head height, and finding humour and humanity in the different scenarios and interactions that have been created over the years. By the end of the book you've almost forgotten that you're looking at clay models!

The quality of the photographs is fantastic, and the photographer seems to have approached it like he would have done a real-life town that he was trying to capture in pictures. Its also a surprisingly thick book for the price, and hard-back.

I can't recommend this highly enough for anyone looking for a present for someone. Its a real treat!
