Présentation de l'éditeur
Jersey, Guernsey, A lderney, and Sark, pointing out a few of the many legends and traditions associated with them, the storm and stress through which they have battled, some of the remnants of feudalism which they have managed to preserve, and certain conspicuous men and women who once lived in them. I trust, therefore, that nobody will open the book in the hope of obtaining from it any original information with regard to the trade, the agriculture, the natural history, or the geological formation of the Channel I slands. Mr. Wimbush has painted them as they are bathed in sunshine, radiant with flowers, busy and well-to-do in this prosperous if prosaic age :I have tried to recall le souvenir des beaux jours envoles of these morceaux de France tombes a lamer et ramasses par TA ngleterre, as Victor Hugo calls them.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Delve into the unique tapestry of Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, and Sark in this captivating volume that weaves together their rich past and vibrant present. The author deftly explores the islands' prehistoric origins, feudal customs, and resilient spirit against the backdrop of centuries of settlement, invasions, and political shifts. Ancient cromlechs and dolmens whisper tales of a mysterious prehistory, while medieval castles and manor houses evoke the era of knights and feudalism. Amidst the rise and fall of empires, the Channel Islands have forged their own distinct identity, proudly preserving traditions and customs that set them apart. Feudal tenures and manorial courts add a touch of medieval charm, while the islands' role in major conflicts, such as the English Civil War and the Second World War, underscores their strategic importance. With insightful analysis and engaging prose, this book illuminates the Channel Islands' fascinating history, showcasing their resilience, cultural heritage, and enduring legacy as remnants of Normandy on the shores of England.
