Travel Writing

About This Book

The author and artist present a richly illustrated travel narrative that seeks to capture the character of the region through selective, evocative sketches rather than exhaustive detail. It pairs descriptive prose with images to portray towns, abbeys set on rock, river bends, coastal resorts, market scenes, and facets of rural and domestic life. Chapters blend historical background and architectural notes with close observations of local costume, customs, and craft, moving from medieval monuments and tapestries to the varied landscapes along the Seine and the stormier western coast to convey a balanced impression of place.
