The New Forest - Its History And Scenery

The New Forest – Its History and Scenery (1867) by John R. Wise – Sold by Crappy Old Books

Take a meandering stroll through the heart of Victorian England’s wilderness with The New Forest – Its History and Scenery by John R. Wise. First published in 1867 by Smith, Elder and Co., this beautifully wordy volume blends history, folklore, and rich natural description into one gloriously overgrown package. With original illustrations by the legendary Walter Crane, it’s part travelogue, part historical sketch, and part "let’s get lost in the woods and talk about Saxons."

Perfect for lovers of antiquated prose, mossy landscapes, and books that smell slightly of damp tweed, this copy is proudly offered by Crappy Old Books – because modern reprints just don’t have enough foxing or personality.

Good strong binding and good all round condition, however, I have added a small seam of glue ro front and back inner covers along the joint as they were starting to come away, Very discrete repair.
