A
Portrait of England
A Portrait of England is a visual celebration of the English
countryside, and its natural and human history.
Published in association with the Campaign to Protect Rural
England (CPRE) – and introduced by CPRE President Sir
Max Hastings – it captures the essence of the English
rural landscape in all its glory, from majestic mountains
to rugged coastlines and nestling villages. This inspiring
book also pays tribute to CPRE’s 80th anniversary in
2006.
A Portrait of England combines stunning landscape photography
with quintessentially English quotes, poetry, reminiscences
and anecdotes, from authors such as Austen and Wordsworth to celebrity CPRE and countryside supporters
such as Bill Bryson, Rick Stein, Richard Mabey, Alan Titchmarsh
and Monty Don.
