In this, the first part of his autobiography, L.T.C. Rolt tells of his childhood in Chester, on the Welsh border near Hay-on-Wye, and in Gloucestershire; of an engineering apprenticeship and career which took him from a farm in the Vale of Evesham to a locomotive works in Stoke-on-Trent and from Dursley to the Wiltshire Downs until he finally settled in a Hampshire village, running a garage specializing in vintage cars. Landscape with Machines is imbued with Rolt's love of England and the English countryside, but also of his endless fascination with machines: steam ploughing engines, steam wagons, steam locomotives, canal boats and a variety of unusual motor cars.
