Wanderings In Wessex is a book written by Edric Holmes that takes the reader on a journey through the beautiful and historic region of Wessex, located in the south of England. The book is a collection of essays and stories that describe the author's experiences and observations as he travels through the countryside, exploring its ancient landmarks, picturesque villages, and stunning landscapes. Throughout the book, the author shares his deep passion for the region, its history, and its people, and provides fascinating insights into the culture and traditions of Wessex. He also delves into the rich mythology and folklore of the area, exploring the legends and stories that have been passed down through generations. The book is beautifully written, with vivid descriptions that bring the region to life, and is accompanied by a series of stunning illustrations and photographs that capture the beauty and charm of Wessex. Wanderings In Wessex is a must-read for anyone who loves history, culture, and the natural beauty of the English countryside.The railway from Wareham to Dorchester runs through the heart of that great wild tract that under the general name of Egdon Heath forms a picturesque and often gloomy background to many of Mr. Hardy's romances. These heath-lands are a marked characteristic of the scenery of this part of the county. Repellent at first, their dark beauty, more often than not, will capture the interest and perhaps awe of the stranger. Much more than a mere relic of the great forest that stretched for many miles west of Southampton Water and that in its stubborn wildness bade fair to break up the Saxon advance, the heaths of Dorset extend over a quarter of the area of the county.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
