It is on the Welsh borders. We have just returned from a holiday near there. It's known as the book town.

'Corduroy' is described by Susan Hill as 'beautiful, elegiac descriptive writing about the English countryside.'

I especially like England is a Village by C Henry Warren - the edition I own has wonderful scraperboard illustrations by Denys Watkins-Pitchford.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911604654446032587.post-91508666245023037222010-08-27T07:33:56.811-07:002010-08-27T07:33:56.811-07:00Thank you!
