Reviews"This new and authoritative overview of the artist's career reveals his great skill - one that was often overlooked by the artistic establishment, although his popularity has remained steadfast with the British public." -- Leisure Painter, "[This] new book fully evokes the romance of a roving, painterly life which began when Seago joined a travelling circus, continued through war-time travels and was sustained most importantly by voyages on an ocean-going ketch as an artist adventurer sailed in search of subjects." -- Eastern Daily Press, "With some 400 illustrations it traces the artist's life. from his beginnings as a sickly child to his spirited battle with a fatal illness, and is full of anecdotes about his friends, lovers, patrons, travels and inspirations, as well as his periods spent with a travelling circus and as a war artist." -- Country Life
