Of the new museums that have opened in Britian since the second world war, the North of England Open Air Museum universally known as Beamish, is one of the most remarkable. This book is about the man who made it, Frank Atkinson
Frank Atkinson was a true visionary - as it says on the flyleaf 'If you've seen Beamish, you must read this story If you haven't seen it, this story will seem incredible and will make you want to see it.'
'I commend this book to anyone who wants to know how great men get great things done.' LORD MORRIS of Castle Morris 1999
