Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Heart of the West: A Book of the West Country From Bristol to Land´s End This book is not intended to be a guide-book, nor is it exactly a chronicle of travel. As a guide-book it has many omissions, the more glaring of which I may as well point out myself, and thus forestall criticism. To neglect almost the whole of south Somerset, including Yeovil, Ilchester, Ilminster, the Cadbury that may be Camelot and the Montacute that has so fine a manor-house - to omit Seaton and Sidmouth and Ottery from a treatment of Devon - would be shortcomings, were it not for the fact that these districts are dealt with in another volume of the series of which this book forms a part. But my aim has been to give a presentment of the West Country as a whole, within moderate compass, in a series of central pictures rather than in full detail; I have wished to be true in the spirit while not false, though certainly incomplete, in the letter. For convenience of treatment I have chosen to proceed from east to west, starting from Bristol to St. Ives on the north, from Exeter to Land´s End on the south. There are thus two main itineraries, with one necessary digression - a digression that takes in Dartmoor and thus includes the most interesting district of mid-Devon.
