Very good A charming copy of Ruskin's essays, affectionately inscribed to Nesta Inglis, the pioneering headmistress of the independent girls' school Tudor Hall, Banbury; seemingly donated to the school library when she was still a pupil (1912). Ernestine "Nesta" Inglis (18951990) was an educator and headmistress, "who played a pivotal role in the history of Tudor Hall: attending as a pupil, rescuing the School from closure as Headmistress and overseeing the eventual purchase of Wykham Park in 1944. Her vision secured the future of the School". According to a former pupil, "Nesta's influence at Tudor was to make it a more progressive school, following The Dalton Plan an educational model that aimed to tailor each student's study to their interests and abilities and to promote independent learning." More recently her talent as a musician was recalled on Desert Island Discs by another former pupil, the barrister Nemone Lethbridge.
