. "The Moorlands of England" captures the unique landscape and unforgettable nature of both the upland and lowland moors. It traces the rich human legacy with evocative photographs of ancient standing stones and circles followed by images of the distinctive towns and walled farms of later inhabitants. Subsequent chapters describe the moors of myth and imagination-from the Arthurian legend to the novels of the Brontes-and the experience of life on the moors today-from the pressures faced by farmers to the establishment of the National Parks system and the fight to save the moors from further misuse and encroachment. A gazetteer and maps at the end of this splendid book provide a moor by moor breakdown of useful information.144p.illus index. Illustr.: Photgraphs by Dudley Witney. Book. Book Condition: Fine.
