The Highways and Byways of Britain

Between the end of the nineteenth century and the Second World War 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 Macmillan is reissuing - in one beautifully designed volume - a selection of those highways and byways which affords contemporary readers both a charming period piece and a wonderful glimpse of the very best of Britain.
