Thy Kingdom Come (Arthur Wragg) (1939)

Here is the work of a prophet whom all men can understand.

His message cuts across the frontiers of all nations and languages, relying as it does, not upon the written word, but upon that simplest of all communications, the picture. Even in countries where open publication would have been impossible, Arthur Wragg’s work has been circulated. In Germany at this moment there are drawings of his which find the same response as they do here and in America.

Critics of both hemispheres, perhaps inevitably, have described this artist-prophet as a modern Blake, a Hogarth or a Goya, but Wragg’s genius is too closely bound up with his own time and that immediately ahead easily to associate him with any that have gone before.

Arthur Wragg’s books have been rare because he only speaks when he has something to say, and his publishers are proud to offer this work at this moment in our history, believing it to be not only a contribution to sanity, but a challenge to the spirit.

Condition: covers a little worn and marked to rear panel. Some light sunning to rear paste-down and a touch of spotting to prelims, otherwise very good.
