The American Henry James's descriptions of the countryside, monuments, universities, cathedrals, castles, customs and manners of the English are filled with elegant charm and good humour. Here he delights in the hidden corners of ancient Chester streets, marvels at the drunken jollity of Epsom Derby day and savours the calm shadows of Glastonbury abbey, in a hymn to stained-glass windows, crumbling cottages, Norman towers, weather-beaten gables and the English genius. Generations of inhabitants have helped shape the English countryside - but it has profoundly shaped us too.It has provoked a huge variety of responses from artists, writers, musicians and people who live and work on the land - as well as those who are travelling through it.English Journeys celebrates this long tradition with a series of twenty books on all aspects of the countryside, from stargazey pie and country churches, to man's relationship with nature and songs celebrating the patterns of the countryside (as well as ghosts and love-struck soldiers).

This is an eloquently opinionated guidebook to the castles and churches of France. The author, Walter Larned, talks one through the monument's history and then walks one through its most interesting architectural aspects. Larned expresses his personal views with refreshing (and sometimes downright gushing) candor. Of Carcassonne he writes, "There cannot be many places in the world that produce so profound an effect upon the mind, the imagination, and the sense of beauty ... If it is not a dream, it seems as if it must be, because it is so unlike anything that waking eyes are accustomed to look upon." This book offers a truly engaging and creative alternative to the guidebooks published today. Take it to France and read it in place of the glossy tourist guides. You'll be informed and amused. Guaranteed.
