Book synopsis

From the original title page: 'Nothing like these books has ever been presented to the English people. Every place has been visited. The Compilers have travelled half-a-million miles and have prepared a unique picture of our countryside as it has come down through the ages, a census of all that is enduring and worthy of record.' The King's England series is Arthur Mee's richly informative, informally written and amazingly comprehensive survey of England. It describes the best houses, churches, views and towns in the country, and set the standard for books on British heritage from Niklaus Pevsner up to Simon Jenkins. Arthur Mee's series was the most popular and most extensive guide to the England before Pevsner, whose more serious approach to architecture never appealed to as many ordinary readers.
