Excerpt from The Rivers and Streams of England
Allusion and otherwise, that must occur in these pages may be suspect. The more so, as from the fascination of the Cook's ticket or what not, comparatively few of my countrymen have any considerable knowledge of their own land. The Rhine is certainly better known than the Wye, and the Danube probably than the Severn.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a celebration of England's two most iconic rivers, the Severn and the Wye, and an exploration of their natural beauty and cultural importance. It is written by an expert who brings together history, literature, and personal experience to provide a rich and evocative portrait of these two great waterways. The book begins by tracing the course of the Severn from its source in the Welsh mountains to its mouth at the Bristol Channel. Along the way, the author describes the river's many tributaries, the towns and villages that have grown up on its banks, and the historical events that have taken place along its course. The second half of the book is devoted to the Wye, which is often considered to be the most beautiful river in England. The author follows the Wye's course from its source in the Cambrian Mountains to its confluence with the Severn at Chepstow. He describes the river's meandering course through some of England's most picturesque countryside, and the many castles, abbeys, and other historic sites that can be found along its banks. Throughout the book, the author provides insights into the natural history of the Severn and the Wye, and the ways in which these rivers have shaped the lives of the people who live along their banks. He also explores the literary and artistic legacy of the two rivers, and the ways in which they have been celebrated by poets, painters, and musicians. This book is a must-read for anyone who loves rivers, history, or the natural beauty of England. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
