Synopsis
Excerpt from The Idyllic Avon: Being a Simple Description of the Avon From Tewkesbury to Above Stratford-on-Avon, With Songs and Pictures of the River and Its Neighbourhood
WE purpose making a pilgrimage to Stratford-on Avon, rowing up the Avon from Tewkesbury, and to make the trip in such fashion that we may become intimately acquainted with the river through fifty miles of its course. We intend making the voyage in a very leisurely way, stopping to dwell for a time in inns and cottages in the towns and villages by which the river flows, to enter old houses and churches, to look up the history of some of the places to which we come, and to find interest in everything that presents itself to our observation in those remote shires of Gloucester, Worcester, and Warwick. We shall loiter to talk about the birds and beasts and flowers, or to converse with the rustics about local affairs, and we shall sing our own river songs as we row along or lie in shady or sunny spots, and shall bring away with us pictures to remind us of the places we have seen.
