WardIn One Volume, Large Crown 8vo, Cloth, Gilt topPRICE6SHILLINGS“A capital book, dealing with Thomas of London, his murder, his cult, and his miracles; with Geoffrey Chaucer and his pilgrims, and with the Pilgrims’ Way. It is written in bright, breezy fashion. The illustrations are numerous, and are very interesting.”—Academy.“There will be few of those who read Mr Ward’s delightful book and study the beautiful photographs who will not come to the conclusion that an ideal summer holiday might be spent in a walk along the Pilgrims’ Way described.”—Morning Advertiser.“This is a fragrant book, full of the freshness and greenness of Southern England, and at the same time suggesting, with its many illustrations of cathedral architecture, the sweet seclusion of a bygone age.
