Books to read:
There’s a short, accessible biography of Arthur called “Arthur Mee’s Dream of England” by Maisie Robson.
"Arthur Mee" by Gillian Elias is well illustrated and accessible reading for children.
A longer biography, “Child of Wonder”, by Arthur’s lifelong friend and fellow journalist, John Hammerton is worth a look.
