Hello James, I just wanted to say how much I have just enjoyed reading yout book, 'Harbours, Girls and a Slumbering World'. A someone who also travelled in the region (albeit 30 years later than you) I found it very engaging from start to finish. Neil Pettigrew, London
James Page-Roberts joined the RAF in 1942 to become a pilot. Recovering from TB, he designed for the theatre and television before painting landscape. After one-man exhibitions and mixed shows in London’s top galleries, he turned to sculpting in wood.
An alteration of course after a wrist fracture resulted in him writing 14 books and over 700 articles in the subsequent 24 years. His subjects were wine, vines, gardens, cooking, London’s dockland & travel. In 2006 he returned to painting.
His work sells with regularity at Christie's. In 2010 he held a one-man show of Aircraft Shadows at the Mayor Gallery, Cork St, London.
