Praise for "The Honeywood File"
"This hilarious 1929 British comedy classic is framed as letters to
and from hapless young architect James Spinlove, who is desparately
trying to complete construction of a mansion known as Honeywood
Grange for the volatile Sir Leslie Brash. The letter-writers
include contractors, plumbers, town planners, litigious lawyers,
Lady Brash and Hootchcraft, the surveyor of bricks. A narrator
(Creswell himself) comments on it all, revealing a great deal of
still-oertinent information about house-building."
- "Toronto Globe and Mail "
" .... recommended to the earnest study of all young architects and
all those temerarious enough to desire to build their own
houses."
- "Burlington Magazine"
"I have admired "The Honeywood File" and "The Honeywood Settlement"
.... since I was told about them as an architecture student, and
never ceased to feel grateful to the lecturer who introduced them
to me."
- Leslie Fairweather
Priase for "The Honeywood File"
" ... full of human nature; and full of useful information lightly
conveyed, for everybody concerned with domestic architecture."
- Arnold Bennett
