Ian Thompson - The English Lakes: A History

Bloomsbury Publishing , 2010. Reprint, Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. 9780747598381 Clean bright pages, unclipped jacket. A very nice looking copy, in almost as new condition. Ian Thompson's sumptuous book does full justice to the history, topography, and cultural background ~ from Defoe to Wordsworth and Coleridge to Beatrix Potter and beyond ~ of this astoundingly impressive, inspiring place. A few of the reproductions {Turner, Claude Lorrain, Potter, etc} could be clearer, but mostly the many illustrations which adorn the book, including as they do several tremendous photographs by the author himself, are mouth-watering. Thompson's text is intelligent and informative. A book to treasure. (Reader review) 352 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Travel & Places; ISBN/EAN: 9780747598381. Inventory No: dscf10430.
