Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 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.

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.
