Product Description

Review

Spence (is) a good companion, brisk and amusing. There are still stretches of ravishing beauty and corners of great architectural and historical interest, with plenty of surprises and anecdotes to go with them and new things I found delightful on nearly every page. I learnt a lot and intend to carry the book around and learn more. TABLET (Isabel Quigly) Keith Spence shows how much as yet survives and how rich and fascinating this part of England still is. He writes sensitively and knowledgeably about buildings and architecture, and has a keen sense of the detail that gives identity to a place. OBSERVERIt is (in) the penetration into the small and remainingly typicalaspects of the two counties that Keith Spence so informatively indulges.This book is a delight for all who live in or visit this yet typicalarea of England. FINANCIAL TIMES

Product Description

This is a thoroughly revised and updated edition of KEITH SPENCE's essential guide to two of the most beautiful - and often still unspoiled - counties in England, which on its first publication quickly established itself as the best available guide to the area. Mr Spence shows how much as yet survives and how rich, varied and fascinating this part of England still is. He writes sensitively and knowledgeably about buildings and architecture, and has a keen sense of the detail that gives identity to a place. There is much to be learned from this book, which maintains the high standard of the Companion Guide series. OBSERVER

4.0 out of 5 stars Written by James!, 14 April 2001

By A Customer

The content is certainly thorough, as even the smallest of villages are given a review. It is also incredibly accurate, and it seems to be largely unbiased to either one of the counties. However, many would feel that the author concentrates too much on the history of noble families and stately homes, rather than the more obvious charms of the towns and villages reviewed. If you skip these overlong (and not too frequent) sections you'll find it a very interesting guide to this corner of England, probably the best available. For those who may have wondered, the castle on the front cover is Scotney Castle in Kent.

I give the book 4/5 because it is well composed overall and interesting to read, the one fault being that few would find it outstandingly thrilling, simply because of the nature of the book (being just a place guide), and also because of the lack of pictures.
