Présentation de l'éditeur

English cottages and hamlets. Wander where you will, in Italy or Switzerland, France or Germany, and when you return home you will be bound to confess that in no foreign land have you seen a village which for beauty and interest can compare with the scattered hamlets of our English land. These others may be surrounded by grander scenery and finer landscapes. The monotonous blue sea of the Mediterranean may lave their feet; lofty, snow-clad mountains may tower above chalets and homesteads ;the romance of the Rhine, the vine-clad slopes, may produce a certain amount of attractiveness ;but when you return to England and contrast our peaceful homely villages with all that you have seen, you will have learned to appreciate their real charm. They have to be known in order that they may be loved. They do not force themselves upon our notice. The hasty visitor may pass them by, and miss half their attractiveness.
