Godwin was brought out to accompany a big exhibition of his work in New York, an exhibition unforgivably turned down by the V & A. Different authors contribute articles on, among other topics, his work as architect, designer of interiors, furniture, wallpaper and ceramics, theatre designer, and prolific writer in the architectural magazines.
