I loved it' EDMUND DE WAALJim Ede was a man of remarkable energy and vision: a collector, dealer, fixer, critic and, above all, friend to artists. As Laura Freeman shows in this captivating biography, the lives of Ede and the artists he championed represent a thrilling tipping point in twentieth-century modernism: a new guard, a new way of making and seeing, and a new way of living with art.

At Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge, he opened his home and his collection to all comers. Art ca be found there wherever you look – in a pebble, feather or seedhead. His approach has shown generations of visitors that learning to look can be a whole new way of life. ‘A beautiful, original biography… Freeman’s writing has Ede’s flair, grace and insight’ FINANCIAL TIMES'An extraordinary tale' LITERARY REVIEW‘A cabinet of curiosities… The story of a life and of a century’ LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS
