With a foreword by Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch. 120 pages, 49 plates, cloth, very good. 1st edition. From the foreword: 'Guidebooks to al parts of England, Scotland and Wales multiply in these days… Admirable as these books are, and efficient in their several ways, they have all - until I came to this one of Mr. Edmund Vale's -left me with a sense that they miss - or anyhow fail to communicate - almost half the joy which I, as a coast-dweller and descendant of coast-dwellers have known and would share.'
