Description: The Spell of England Author: de Wolf Addison, Julia Title: The Spell of England Publication: Boston: L. C. Page & Company, 1913 Description: Hardcover. What is the spell of England, oh there are every so many to discover..."drive along a particularly beautiful Devonshire lane, or cross a wild pass in the Welsh hills...stand in Westminster Abbey and look at the misty vault above...in some old Cotswold town, with its little stone houses rising like natural creations from the earth, embodying the poetry and charm of the simple living for hundreds of years...follow the legend of King Arthur and his knights, in Tintagel and in Glastonbury...consider the pixies, and fairies, and gnomes who can gather around you in a cool shady grove when you allow that most potent of all spells, the spell of legend, to surround you...I think I will see what I can do to make you feel a few of the spells that invest this dear old island," so does Boston-born and England-educated writer and craftswoman Julia de Wolf Addison (1866-1952) introduce her enchanted and enchanting travelogue. Illustrated in 50 plates and a lovely fold-out map in green and black, you'll find yourself spellbound indeed by places both quaint and holy, legendary and scholarly, and possibly even fairy-haunted throughout the cityscapes and countrysides of England in the pages of this 1913 tome.8" X 5 5/8". xiv, [fold-out map of England], 433pp. Boards bound in cloth the color of the green fields of England, with Canterbury Cathedral stamped in bright gilt over a dark blue sky to upper board and spine, lettered in kind. Mild wear to binding, with scattered rubbing, dimming to gilt at spine, and light wear to extremities. Top edge gilt. Pictorial endpapers depict a charming Cotswolds lane to front and the ivy-shrouded ruins of Kenilworth Castle to rear. Binding is firm and sound. Pages are clean and unmarked. Illustrated in a color frontispiece and 49 monochrome photographic plates throughout. Very good.
