The National Gallery Companion Guide Book

When I was a child I would often go on trips to London with my family, and though we frequented the Science Museum and the Natural History Museum, we never went to the National Gallery - which tells you a lot about my parents. So it was that I first stumbled in a few months ago, in my twenty-fourth year, and was embarrassed to discover how little I could appreciate or understand it. I whizzed round in about a day or so, then picked this book up from the gift shop at the end. It has been uniformly helpful, and I now look forward to visiting again.
