Media Reviews
Reviews of Sleepers: 'Everyone who loves history must salute Philip Mould ! marvellous images have been recovered which would otherwise be lost to us.' Lady Antonia Fraser 'Philip Mould is an arch sleuth with an uncanny ability to unearth lost art. The numerous portraits and paintings he has been responsible for bringing back to life have not only added to our artistic culture but also represent a significant addition to historical evidence and understanding. By knowing how it is done he can also brilliantly explain the techniques that others have used to achieve similar results.' David Starkey 'This book might well be sub-titled Inspector Mould Strikes Again. Although I am not qualified even to play his Sgt Lewis, it has been my great pleasure to stand by and observe Philip Mould in action on more than one televised investigation, as he reveals to (usually) delighted owners the unsuspected history of the painting that has hung for decades over their mantelpiece or leaned against their shed wall. Mould doesn't just discover art - he makes the rest of us share the joy and excitement of it.' Michael Aspel
