Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Rillen / Abschurfungen / Risse / Knicke. The Chilterns, named from the Saxon word for chalk, is a picturesque region characterized by rolling hills, valleys, and woodlands, stretching from Hertfordshire through Buckinghamshire to the Thames valley. For centuries, communities have thrived here, drawing sustenance from the rich soil, beechwoods, cherry orchards, and local crafts like lace-making and straw-plaiting. This landscape has seen significant transformations since the time of Henry VIII, marked by religious persecution. During the Civil War, the Chiltern Hills became a battleground, caught between Oxford and London, witnessing numerous conflicts and their accompanying devastation. This book offers a tapestry of words and images that spans over four centuries, immersing readers in the essence of the Chilterns. It features extracts from historical figures such as John Leland, Camden, Defoe, Shelley, and Disraeli, bringing the region's unique character to life. Enhanced by modern color photographs, sepia images from the early 20th century, and period engravings, this work serves as a beautiful reminder of the Chilterns' rich history and allure, appealing to both tourists and locals alike.
