(4,364 Sterne; 11 Bewertungen)
The county of Lancashire in the north-west of England is best known as the engine room of the nineteenth-century Industrial Revolution. Steering clear of the industrial districts, F. A. Bruton takes the reader on an engaging tour of the county's beauty spots and lesser known landscapes. Taking the view that the charm of a district is nothing without its historical associations, Bruton packs his account with historical detail and literary references to, among others, Leland, Wordsworth, Ruskin, Arnold, and Mrs. Carlyle.

As someone who knows very little about Lancashire, I found this very interesting. It was a bit hard for me to follow the geography of the region, but Phil's excellent reading brought the scenes alive wherever it was that we were! :) I also loved the history - it is interesting and rather unusual to focus on one place and see the sweep of history affect that area over the years. After listening to this book, I'm going to put Lancaster witches on my "to listen" list so that I can hear more of the history of this fascinating area.
excellent tour
