Colin Ward was an anarchist, a writer, an educator and an environmentalist. His books include Anarchy in Action and many others, primarily on social history, childhood, housing and the informal landscape. His wide-ranging interests included New Towns, allotments, transport and the British holiday camp. He was the founder-editor of Anarchy and the Bulletin of Environmental Education, and was for many years a contributing editor to Freedom.

Colin Ward made anarchism respectable, but not too respectable. His anarchism was pluralist and practical. It drew inspiration from writers of the past such as Kropotkin and Gustav Landauer but was firmly rooted in the present.

This booklet consists of tributes at his funeral and a memorial meeting from other writers, editors, family members and educators. These include Peter Hall, Ken Worpole, Peter Marshall, Dennis Hardy, Stuart White, Eileen Adams, to name just a few.
