TITLES:
Robert MacFarlane, "Landmarks" + "The Old Ways"
Both these books are beautifully written but unexpected. I assumed that they would concentrate on England but they travelled further afield. On the way McFarland quotes from many authors particularly in Landmarks so it becomes a book review in itself. In fact I was able to share in my French granddaughters philosophy lessons vis one of the quoted authors.
As always, Bookhound provided my escape from the horror news of the real world by taking me to a world which I can always close the door by putting down the book!
I have ordered from Bookhound on several occasions. It is good to get books addressing a particular genre and you come across new authors. This time it fails to get 5 stars because if delivery problems. Yodel were given the wrong address and it took 11 days for my books to arrive after long phone calls with Yodel. I had the correct address on the Bookhound site as well as a false address that was used.
