What Our Customers Say...
Description
Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding
Includes a new edition of 'Rural England' (1906, complete in two volumes) and the first edition of 'Rural Denmark' (1911).
In the original cloth bindings.
Illustrated with photographs throughout.
Varying from the usual adventure-romance novels of the author. This set includes H. Rider Haggard's non-fiction rural surveys of Denmark and England, exploring the ins and outs of the regions' agriculture, churches, schools, farms and trades.
The new edition of 'Rural England' is particularly noted for its updated preface, in which Haggard expresses expresses his disappointment in the lack of change and improvement to the state of agriculture in England, to which the work was intended to aid.
'Rural England' Volume I is illustrated with thirty-two monochrome plates.
'Rural England' Volume II is illustrated with twenty-four monochrome plates.
'Rural Denmark' is illustrated with a frontispiece and fifteen monochrome plates.
Collated, complete.
