The Shell Country Alphabet by Geoffrey Grigson
From green men, ice-scratches, cross-legged knights and weathercocks to rainbows, clouds and stars; from place-names and poets to mazes, dene-holes and sham ruins, via avenues, dewponds and village greens, this title helps you discover the world that remains, just off the motorway.
Geoffrey Grigson, poet and writer, was born in Cornwall in 1905. He first came to prominence in the 1930s as a poet, then as editor from 1933 of New Verse.
