The fifty-three castles chosen for this enchanting book represent every part of Great Britain, and span the five centuries that marked the great age of castle building, from William the Conqueror's eleventh-century citadels to the picturesque turrents of seventeenth-century Glamis. The selection includes such famous landmark as the Tower of London and Windsor Castle, as well as lesser-known fortresses, such as the now ruined Brough Castle in Cumbria. Each one is attractively illustrated with hand coloured prints and engravings or full colour photographs, while ground plans and town maps show the relationship between castles and their surrounding areas.

Condición: Near Fine. Octavo. [vi], x, 631, [5]. 8" x 5" FIRST COMPLETE WALTON Establishing Izaak Walton as the English angling expert of the seventeenth century, The Compleat Angler is a celebration of fishing, depicting pastoral scenes of Walton's "most pleasant hours" on the River Dove as an escape from the English Civil War. First published in 1653, it served as Walton's life's work as he crafted an in-depth angling guide and a natural history of fish species, tracking breeding cycles and fishing seasons. This edition, released in 1929 at the height of Nonesuch Press' publication days, is the first time Walton's complete writings have been published in one volume, including The Compleat Angler (using the text from the 1668 fourth edition) and The Lives of Donne, Wotton, Hooker, Herbert, and Sanderson, as well as some of his miscellaneous writings. This edition limited to 1,600 numbered copies, of which this is 640, and stunningly bound in full morocco with marbled endpapers. [Dreyfus 61; Oliver 268].
