Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Book Club Associates. Hardback. Taken from the highly successful Observer Magazine series, this book is a catalogue of all that is best in England. Our best-loved county towns are introduced by writers who have special feelings of affection for them, and in subsequent pages the nooks and crannies which visitors, day trippers, or holiday-makers often miss are described and explained in a text that will delight the active visitor and armchair traveller alike. Twenty-four towns have been chosen as centres for exploration, and the book then wanders through some of the prettiest of the surrounding villages. Each section ends with details of interesting things to visit, museums, boat trips, national parks, zoos, model railways, good places to eat and drink.and much more. The idea of the book is to avoid the over-populated, the familiar beaten track. For that reason it leaves out the Home Counties and skirts the most popular tourist towns - Stratford, Oxford, Windsor. The result is an introduction to the true England: quiet, picturesque, calm and beautiful. There are over 170 photographs in colour, a distillation of the essence of England and an indispensable traveller's guide. Illustrated. 256 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
