A rare illustrated edition of The Roadmender Country, tracing the quiet lanes and spiritual solitude of the English Downs, with tender reflections on nature, memory, and postwar England.

Decorate with fine line drawings by Duncan Moul, this edition is dedicated by permission to Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal, adding a touch of regal provenance.

Step into a bygone England with The Roadmender Country, a moving homage to the rural Downs and the meditative spirit of slow travel. This edition is graced with poetic prose, postwar relections, and nature’s quiet power - made richer still with exquisite illustrations by Duncan Moul, including scenes of daffodil fields, churchyards, and horse-drawn carts.

This book evokes a time when even the pace of reading was slow and soulful. The embossed green cover, floral borders, and hand-drawn sketch map place the reader squarely in the timeless countryside of Sussex.

Perfect for collectors of vintage books, lovers of English pastoral writing, or those building a library for slow living.
