| Description: |
From green men, ice-scratches, cross-legged knights and weathercocks to rainbows, clouds and stars; from place-names and poets to mazes, dene-holes and sham ruins, via avenues, dewponds and village greens, this title helps you discover the world that remains, just off the motorway. |
| Synopsis: |
In the 1960s, Geoffrey Grigson travelled around England writing the story of the secret landscape that is all around us, if only we take the time to look and see. The result is a book that will take you on an imaginative journey, revealing hidden stories, unexpected places and strange phenomena. From green men, ice-scratches, cross-legged knights and weathercocks to rainbows, clouds and stars; from place-names and poets to mazes, dene-holes and sham ruins, via avenues, dewponds and village greens, "The Shell Country Alphabet" will help you discover the world that remains, just off the motorway. 'Geoffrey Grigson resurrected the minor, the provincial and the parochial ...[he was] an erudite and unrivalled topographer ...ardent in promoting informed awareness of the distinctiveness of place' - Toby Barnard. 'An anthologist of genius' - P.J. Kavanagh. |
