Shakespeare country - Neil Jinkerson

Shakespeare Country takes in the historic town of Stratford-upon-Avon and the surrounding countryside, including the county of Warwickshire and the beautiful Evesham Vale. From the bustling charm of Stratford town centre, the Shakespeare properties and the famous riverside theatres to the rural grandeur of Warwick Castle, Charlecote Park and Hidcote Manor, the original photographs in this book reflect the timeless character of the gentle rolling countryside, the sleepy hamlets, the stately properties and Shakespeare's town. This photographic tour includes the five Shakespeare houses, the River Avon and Stratford Town as well as Warwick, Royal Leamington Spa, Kenilworth Castle and villages of Aston Cantlow and Henley in Arden. The photographs are accompanied by selected quotes from writers and travellers throughout the ages. Carefully compiled and stylishly presented, this is a truly outstanding photographic book of long-lasting merit.
