Between the end of the 19th century and World War II, Macmillan published a much-loved and extremely successful series of books under the title of Highways and Byways. In them, the authors took readers on a delightful guided tour of the country, county by county, pointing out places of interest, key historical events, and local lore and legend. Now, this reissue—in one beautifully designed volume—of a selection of those highways and byways affords contemporary readers both a charming period piece and a wonderful glimpse of the very best of Britain.

The Highways and Byways of Britain
This is a compilation of 36 extracts from the original series of 'Highways and Byways', published between 1897 and 1948. I found it quite hard work, reading only one or two chapters at a time, because a lot of it is written in a rather old fashioned style.
But buried in amongst the ordinary and mundane are a generous number of insights and surprises - mostly about how much the country has changed, or how little.
Worth a try for those who like England, and who like travel guides.
