Review from previous edition The complete package - frankly it is difficult to fault this book as a student friendly guide to the subject. It is an inspiring text. * Michael Draper, Swansea University *
The book is excellent. It combines a thorough, critical, understanding of the development of the law of trusts with visually engaging materials. The many interactive learning opportunities ensure that this book stands head and shoulders above the rest. * Caron Thatcher, London South Bank University *
A straightforward text that cuts through the legal jargon and enables the fascinating subject matter of equity law to shine. * Alice Blythe, University of Bolton *
