The first, introductory, volume was published in 1936 by Hodder & Stoughton; in 1989, The King's England Press was established to reprint the series. It was said that the series was a modern Domesday Book and that the compilers had travelled half-a-million miles in order to complete their task. The vast majority of the content is a description of churches and associated local worthies.' (Wiki) ***'The most complete picture of a country ever presented to its people. Complete in 41 volumes. Over 10,000 places. Over 6,000 photographs. There never has been a great visitation of this country for the people, and we have tried to make one. We have been to ten thousand towns and villages and come back laden with good reports, Marco polos bringing our treasure home. We have been to all our great towns and villages, have felt the touch of thousands of years of history and thousands of people who have made our homeland the most beautiful and the most stirring land on earth --- It is for us to guard this Little Paradise, to pass it on to all those who follow.' - Arthur Mee in the Introductory Volume, Enchanted Land (Quote taken from the back panel of the dustwrapper). ***First printing of the true first edition, in a nicely preserved dustwrapper.
