A book like this could not be produced without the support of the family and I am extremely grateful to Deirdre Stone and Annie Coultas for permission to reproduce Charles Simpson's paintings and to quote from his writings; John and Elaine Haddock have been very helpful. Finally I should like to thank John Sansom of Sansom & Company, Hanna Oakes of Gendall Design and all the staff of Penlee House Gallery and Museum.
