England is famous for its for their variety, for their picturesque charm, for their sublime blending into landscapes from which they have grown. This is the England astutely observed and chronicled in this classic volume. The Charm of the English Village is a picturesque and delightful book originally published in 1906. P.H. Ditchfield's commentary describes the cottages, gardens, churches, village greens, inns, shops, almshouses, schools, bridges, sundials, weathercocks which comprise the unique beauty of village England. Delicate and expressive drawings by Sydney Jones capture many of these features of village life. The 106 illustrations presented range from atmospheric landscape views to minutely observed sketches of rural curiosities, such as pigeon-houses and village stocks. They add the final touch to this nostalgic ramble through the rural hamlets of England.
