In Praise of Devon

In Praise of Devon is an evocation of the unique character of the county and its people. John Lane eloquently describes Devon`s rivers, coastline and moors; its towns, villages and buildings; its beautiful images and objects, traditions and occupations – from Dartmoor to Devonshire dialect, Church Bells to Cream Teas, Honiton Lace to Holy Wells – and gives intimate sketches of the lives and values of twenty Devonians, including farmers, a trawlerman, a doctor, a cook, the sculptor Peter Randall Page, potter Clive Bowen and scientist James Lovelock. The text is complemented by 140 colour plates:?photographs, engravings and old master paintings of the Devon countryside.
