Literary Norfolk by Julian Earwaker
This illustrated guide takes its readers on a literary pilgrimage through a unique and beautiful corner of Britain. Norfolk, with its flint-strewn fields and reed-rimmed broads, its wide skies and embattled coast, has captivated generations of writers whose many and varied works are here brought to life through an abundance of anecdotes, quotations and biographical details. Journeying through landscapes both real and imagined, "Literary Norfolk" takes us to the coastline where Robinson Crusoe was first shipwrecked, shows us the unspoilt Broads enjoyed by the children of Arthur Ransome's Coot Club and guides us to the lonely headland where P.D. James' Inspector Dagliesh hunted "the whistler". From Dickens' "David Copperfield" and Anna Sewell's "Black Beauty" to Jack Higgins' "The Eagle Has Landed", Norfolk has inspired a host of books, some famous, some forgotten, but all here with their authors firmly placed in its quiet and mysterious landscape.| SKU | Unavailable |
