A book like this is the essence of England's heritage - superb photographs of idyllic scenes, some of which are ruins, woven together with an informative and perceptive text. Buy it as a gift, but enjoy it yourself before you give it away.

Review:
"What makes this title unique? It's Muir's attention to the patterns of rural life which repeat throughout English history...more than your usual illustrated travelogue."
Synopsis:
Richard Muir presents here an authoritative yet engaging history of the English village. He explores how these communities began, how they acquired their names, how they developed their characteristic forms, how they grew, and how - sometimes - they died.
