... Somewhat perplexed, as a fan of the band, I searched the net and found it was a song called 'Picture Book' taken from the 1968 album 'The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society'. So why didn't I recollect it? Well, it's the forgotten album, it got trampled underfoot in the rush ... Read review

turning it literate and conceptual, Ray Davies
decided the  Kinks should be his vehicle to
explore his unusual longing for a simpler time 
when the English empire was not in decline. A
reliance on English music hall  tradition and
sentiments indicated in titles such as "Last of
the Steam- Powered Trains", "Picture Book" and
"Village Green" clearly show Davies's  nostalgic
streak. Davies' singing has always been rough and
non-Kinks fans  may have trouble getting past his
sloppy pitch. But for those listening  closely,
the tales are one of a kind. --Rob O'Connor

The Secret Album
Review of Village Green Preservation Society, The (Deluxe Edition) - Kinks (The) by Neselrode

Advantages: Cleverly written and beautifully crafted songs
Disadvantages: Not everyone's cup of tea, but then, what is?

...album 'The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society'. So why didn't I recollect it? Well, it's the forgotten album, it got trampled underfoot in the rush to buy other albums from the autumn of that year, such as the Beatles' White Album, The Stones' 'Beggars Banquet', and Jimi Hendrix' 'Electric Ladyland'. The music was changing at the time, the flowers that grew so incredibly high were being crushed by the Street Fighting Man, Revolution ...
...~1 The Village Green Preservation Society Not the strongest of openers but it's pleasant enough and sets the tone for the rest of the album. A medium-paced pop song with a kind of summer groove. Harmonies throughout, lead singer Ray Davies misses the old values: " We are the Draught Beer Preservation Society God save the Mrs Mops and dear Old Mother Riley" ~2 Do You Remember Walter? A bouncing piano chord intro soon cascades into a Kinks-style ... Read review
