内容简介
This book is a visual celebration of the British Isles, a gallery of over 150 carefully chosen images that between them represent ihe incredible diversity of the British landscape.
The beauty of Britain is admired around the world, by the millions who have seen these countries as visitors, by all whose forebears hailed from here and, perhaps most of all, by those who now live elsewhere and look back on these islands as home. We who live here often pay too little attention to the views that surround us, for there is much to appreciate.
A treasure trove of memories, an endless source of kindling for the imagination and an inspiration to the would-be traveller, Beautiful Britain captures the landscapes, the myths, the history and the spirit of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales -these "precious stones, set in a silver sea".
