John's hugely popular book 'John Knapp-Fisher's Pembrokeshire' first published in 1995 and reprinted in 2003 dealt with his working methods and painting techniques.

This autobiography gives, in John's own words, a fascinating insight into his upbringing, the war years, his education, life in the army and subsequent life as an artist. It has been 'all the little things' over these years that have had the biggest influence on his work.
His lifelong love of the sea, boats and the landscape have through his timeless paintings made him into one of the country's most popular and loved artists.
