The sensual, voluptuous shapes in the work of British artist Henry Moore form an unmistakable signature which sets him apart from other sculptors. This book examines Moore's distinctive brand of Modernism, featuring some of his most notable bronze and carved marble sculptures.

Henry Moore is one of the key figures in modern sculpture. Christa Lichtenstern's authoritative study explores the sculptor's guiding principles and considers his artistic development, from his study of Greek antiquity and his fascination with early Italian sculpture to his interest in English heritage and culture.

In 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen', Captain Nemo, Allan Quatermain, Dr Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde, and Hawley Griffin (otherwise known as the Invisible Man) are brought together to fight the menace of Fu Manchu.
