This copy is from the library of actress, author and playwright Gwen Cherrell (1926-2019) With most of Europe in Adolf Hitler's hands, Britain was in a grim predicament in 1941 but that year Collins, the publisher now known as HarperCollins, launched the remarkable Britain In Pictures series of social history books. The books were designed not only to boost morale but perhaps also to record the British way of life in case the Germans completed their European campaign by successfully crossing the English Channel. The books were slim volumes with distinctive elegant covers, but it was the star-studded array of authors that made the series really special. George Orwell wrote about the British people, Cecil Beaton wrote about English photography, the great poet and printer Francis Meynell wrote about English books, John Betjeman (who penned the immortal line" Come, friendly bombs, and fall on Slough" in 1937) wrote about cities and towns, Graham Greene wrote about dramatists, the doyen of sports journalists Neville Cardus wrote about cricket and Edith Sitwell wrote about women. Some of the authors have faded in obscurity but they were all experts in their field during those dark days of World War Two. A wide variety of subjects were covered from battlefields to boxing, clocks to mountaineering, butterflies to farm animals, and from waterways and canals to maps and map-makers. In all, there were 132 titles. For many collectors, obtaining the entire series of Britain in Pictures books is an obsession. Despite wartime paper rationing this series was considered by the government of considerable importance allowing Collins to publish the books in large quantities and priced them cheaply. Ref K7.
