`Few writers have so full a knowledge of Venice, her history and architecture, her daily life, as Adrian Stokes, who lived there for many years. Here his haunting and evocative text supports John Piper’s spirited lithographs in a joint work which will give the deepest satisfaction to all who love Venice, the mother of cities, and are not afraid to see her with contemporary eyes’.
