About this copy
This is the 1996 reprint of Sir Clough Williams-Ellis's autobiography, in which he recounts his distinguished career as architect and creator of the celebrated Portmeirion in Wales, alongside his travels, interests and life philosophy. He began this autobiography in his earlier work, Architect Errant. This copy was printed and bound in Finland.
The dust jacket features a portrait photograph of the author with a small dog in a garden setting, taken by John Rhodes.
