The Secret Country

Janet and Colin Bord

Walker and Company, New York, 1976. First US Edition.

Creasing and a few tears to the dust jacket, including one larger tear along the front fold. Text itself is clean and unmarked. Good.

An immensely charming work of folk anthropology, “The Secret Country” takes us through the hills and valleys of rural Britain, introducing us to a world of mysterious dolmen, standing stones, cryptic inscriptions, and fantastic beasts and entities. Lavishly illustrated, lovingly presented, this book is a real joy to page through. Highly recommended and far superior to most books of the style in content and presentation.
