Synopsis

Shropshire has inspired many writers over the centuries: bucolic rolling fields and meadows, dramatic wild hills and moors, traditional market towns, patchwork of copses and hedgerows, bleak and beautiful mountains. Extracts from Charles Dickens to Tom Sharpe, from Katherine Swift to AE Housman, from Bill Bryson to Pete Postlethwaite, are matched with stunning photographs by Shropshire s Geoff Taylor, who has captured the landscapes that drew out the words. This elegant anthology of Shropshire-inspired literature also features extracts from Samuel Johnson, John Betjeman, DH Lawrence, John Masefield, Henry Kingsley, Wilfred Owen, Mary Webb, John Milton, Simon Evans, Henry James, Phil Rickman, Tim Pears, Roger Evans, Ellis Peters and many more.
