In 1915. when he was forced to resign from the wartime British government at the age of 40, he became deeply depressed, but was rescued during a family holiday by his discovery of the "muse of painting." This book tells the story of Churchill's life for the first time through his own pictures and also contains two of his articles: Painting as a Pastime and Hobbies, which have never before been published together as complete works.
