'The present volume has a much greater coverage of the artist's work [than] the first book I published on Horace Trenerry in 1970' (acknowledgements page). Trenerry was 'an artist of unique vision and quality known only by a small group of admirers, most of them in Adelaide. Disregarded in books on Australian art, two of Trenerry's paintings were included in an important exhibition of Australian painting shown at the Tate Gallery, London in 1963 where they were singled out for special praise ... Today, Trenerry is being discovered by discerning collectors of Australian art' (dustwrapper blurb).
