Ye Sundial Booke

"Ye Sundial Booke" by T. Geoffrey W. Henslow is a combined historical and artistic look at sundials from long ago. The book traces where sundials came from, how they changed over time, and what they mean to different groups of people. It also uses poetry to think about time and life. The author shows gratitude to the inhabitants of Wiltshire and thanks his artistic colleagues for their help. Henslow looks at how sundials were used for telling time, but also as symbols of life passing by. The author's goal is to teach readers about sundials and to help them admire the beauty of these objects in gardens and other places.
