Just my kind of travel book, a literary one set in England, Scotland, and Wales. This was sent to me from my friend in Australia and it is signed by the author to friend and fellow writer Maud Budden. It even has a dust jacket.
Each chapter takes you to a different part of Britain and describes how the place affected the lives of different authors like Kipling, Stevenson, or one of the list of Mrs. Authors like Mrs. Molesworth.
Many excerpts of poems and passages.
Truly a treasure.
