Description
Sussex, Kent and Surrey 1939 by Richard Wyndham is a fascinating insight into the south east of England in the years leading up to World War II. In this unique travelogue, the author takes readers on a 'last look round' of the counties before his own journey was cut short by military service. With his characteristic eccentricity and good humour, Wyndham drives through villages and lesser towns, capturing the essence of rural England in the pre-war era. The book is accompanied by a selection of his own black and white photographs, adding to its charm and character. This book offers a rare glimpse into the region's history before the outbreak of war, making it an interesting read for anyone looking to understand the context of this pivotal period in British history.
