Publisher Review

'A stimulating historical mediation on landscape' Daily Mail. 'Robert Macfarlane in his introduction to this new edition [...] is respectful, finding new relevance in Watkin's writing. The result is to fold Watkins, the counter-cultural mystic-modernist, into the cultural landscape, laying the track for others to follow' TLS. Watkins re-enchanted the English landscape, investing it with fresh depth and detail, prompting new ways of looking and new reasons to walk' Robert Macfarlane. A remarkable book ... Alfred Watkins [was a] visionary who saw beyond the bounds of his time' John Michell.
