Sobre este artículo
Sumner was an early member of the Arts and Crafts movement, who later rabidly pursued local amateur archaeology. The content of this work is rural living with a touch of archaeology, but with an Arts and Crafts aesthetic, and is filled throughout with Sumner's illustrations. Even "Tolkien was [] very much influenced by the Arts and Crafts illustration style of Heywood Sumner." Durotriges Project, Bournemouth University, @Durotrigesdig, March 1, 2023. "Mr. Sumner's illustrations . . . are both numerous and effective. Their quaint formality is alive with character and atmosphere, and adds irresistibly to the charm of the book, insomuch that it will be strange if a reader can lay it down without experiencing an impulse to make secret pilgrimage to Cuckoo Hill [Gorley], and stand, but for a moment, a stranger (and a trespassing stranger) within its gates." The Athenæum, July 23, 1910, pgs. 91-2.
4to. frontispiece, viii, 133pp., [1]. Scarce with OCLC not locating any copies in the US as of March 2024.
