Product Description
Synopsis
This guide to Devon describes its rivers, coastline and moors; its towns, villages and buildings; its beautiful images and objects, traditions and occupations; and gives intimate sketches of the lives and values of 20 Devonians, including farmers, a trawlerman, a doctor, a cook, the sculpter Peter Randall Page, potter Clive Bowen and scientist James Lovelock.
Excerpted from In Praise of Devon by John Lane. Copyright © 1998. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved
"Devon is a thousand different things. She is her deep lanes, her wild hedgerow flowers, her granite outcrops, her coasts, her cob and thatch cottages, her wind-shaped trees, her special products and skills, her peculiarities of speech, her deep-rooted conservatism and introspection. These are what might be described as the 'real' Devon - something quintessential, undiluted, unmistakable, but at the same time, elusive and indefinable... Those of us who live in the county take for granted that it is one of the chief wonders of the world." - from the Introduction
