The Story of Buildings short-listed for this year's School Library Association Information Book Award
01 May 2015
Congratulations to Patrick Dillon whose The Story of Buildings is one of three short-listed books in the 12-16 year old age group for this year’s School Library Association Information Book Award. The judges commented:
This is a fascinating history of architecture which focuses not on architectural styles or individual buildings - although there is plenty of information about these - but on buildings in the context of their historical and geographical surroundings. Each section flows into the next in a way that combines chronological and thematic approaches. The illustrations are rich and detailed and clever use of fold-outs helps to emphasise the scale and complexity of the buildings featured, showing both the full building and it’s interior and details.
The prize will be awarded in November

Queer Saint by Adrian Clark and Jeremy Dronfield was the subject of a two-page feature in the Independent yesterday.
‘The curious life of this curious man is the subject of a new book, Queer Saint by Adrian Clark and Jeremy Dronfield. Watson was queer in both senses and the authors trace his wanderings through both the beau monde and the dingy one and lay out the friendships and loves he found in each. The figure that emerges is at once a gay playboy with a taste for rough trade and an aesthete in the purest sense of the word who left an indelible if largely unacknowledged mark on British art.’
‘Queer saint’ Peter Watson left his mark on British culture by bankrolling artworld giants
