About This Item
Phoenix Illustrated, Great Britain, 1997. Softcover. Very Good Condition. Illustrator: Ian Burgum [Photographs]. Wales is a country of extraordinarily powerful visual contrasts. Like the land, its history is complex. Invasions and bloody battles over the centuries have strengthened its sense of national identity. Richard Keen takes us on a fascinating journey through a history inscribed on a stunning landscape of dramatic mountains, narrow valleys, beautiful coastlines, peaceful villages and bustling towns. Steeped in rich folklore of giants, devils, fairies, witches and ghosts, Wales is covered with many fascinating monuments and ancient ritual sites. Turn a corner or breast a hill and surprises await: a neolithic burial chamber silhouetted on an open slope, a grey castle standing four-square above a river crossing, a forgotten eighteenth-century garden or the remains of an iron furnace surrounded by slated terraces. Combining 130 stunning colour photographs with vivid text, Richard Keen and Ian Burgum create an intimate portrait of a beautiful and ancient land. 160 pages. Oblong.. Illustrator: Ian Burgum [Photographs]. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 1-2 kilos. Category: Countries::Great Britain; Travel & Places; ISBN: 0753802082. ISBN/EAN: 9780753802083.
