The New Forest: Its History and Its Scenery
John R. Wise and W. J. Linton
William Wise reads the New Forest as history and scenery both, from its early days as a royal hunting ground to Beaulieu Abbey and the old coast castles. He traces its making, its later fortunes, and its wild beauty. Rich, thorough, and deeply felt. A classic study of England's great ancient forest. Walk the New Forest through centuries of history and miles of woodland.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
