Description
Note: This is a second-hand/used copy, and it is sold as seen. A name has been written in ink in the inside cover. The dust jacket has some wear and there is some foxing on page edges.
“This Portrait invites you to spend a year in the Fens, getting to know the landscape, the seasons, the people and places that make this corner of England a unique part of the British Isles. The Fen country is not a county but a mixture of counties. Ignoring the county boundaries it would be truer to say that it is its own kingdom – a kingdom of mists and miraculous skies, of legends, history, characters and towns that all help to make this region different.”
