Inheritance has been aripe topic for literature for hundreds of<br />
years, and it is fascinating to discover that Charles Dickens based<br />
his novel Bleak House on areal contemporary case; the story is<br />
coupled with some up-to-date advice on how to best look after<br />
your family’s future.<br />
Our main interview this issue is with the inimitable Philip Mould,<br />
who runs aleading London gallery and is ahighly regarded<br />
specialist in British portraiture. Is it possible that more traditional<br />
artworks are currently holding their value better than experimental<br />
pieces? We hope you enjoy the conversation and find it of use.<br />
