The county of Lancashire in the north-west of England is best known as
the engine room of the nineteenth-century Industrial Revolution. Steering
clear of the industrial districts, F. A. Bruton takes the reader on an
engaging tour of the county's beauty spots and lesser known landscapes.
Taking the view that the charm of a district is nothing without its historical
associations, Bruton packs his account with historical detail and literary
references to, among others, Leland, Wordsworth, Ruskin, Arnold, and Mrs.
Carlyle. (Introduction by Phil Benson)
