| Description: | Here are simple tales of random wanderings in England—of London Town a few, but most of villages and country towns up and down “this green and pleasant land.” They tell of inns and churches; of the Surrey woods in autumn glory; of Yorkshire dales in early summer; of historic towns and humble hamlets which have seen, and played their part in, the great pageant of England’s history ...
Finally, to scores of thousands, born in the Dominions, who have never crossed the ocean, the very words “Old Country” bring visions of a land of ordered peace and stability, of grey stone cottages, of little fields and narrow lanes, of yokels who speak strange tongues. To all these, perhaps, these sketches of England—these smatterings of history and legend—may make appeal.--Intro. [Suggest a different description.] |
