His approach has shown generations of visitors that learning to look can be a whole new way of life.<br><br><b>'A beautiful, original biography... Freeman's writing has Ede's flair, grace and insight' </b><i>FINANCIAL TIMES</i><br><br><b>'An extraordinary tale' </b>LITERARY REVIEW<br><br><b>'A cabinet of curiosities...
