Förlagets beskrivning
THE HEART OF ENGLAND covers the area of lush pastureland and gentle,
rolling hills that stretches from Shrewsbury in the north to Gloucester in the
south, and from the Welsh borders in the west to around Stratford upon Avon in
the east. The region has witnessed more genuine passion and spilt blood than
any other area in the kingdom: poets and writers (headed, of course, by the
immortal William Shakespeare) have celebrated its legends, kings coveted its
hunting forests, armies clashed on its meadows, farmers and market gardeners
blessed its fertility, and industrialists exploited its mineral resources. The
towns, villages and houses that lie within this special region typify, too,
traditional England: half timbered cottages and ancient villages, elegant spa
towns, great cathedrals, impressive fortresses, stately homes, historic manor
houses, and once great monastic houses. This volume provides a tour of England's historic heartlands -- home to
historic locations and idyllic villages, world-famous poets and popular legends
-- by regional chroniclers Talbot and Whiteman.
