Description

The Fens is a deeply personal and enthralling exploration of one of England's most distinctive regions. Francis Pryor brings to life the history and landscapes of the Fenland, from Bronze Age field systems to Iron Age hillforts, and from prosperous towns like King's Lynn and Cambridge to ambitious drainage projects.

As an archaeologist who has spent forty years digging in the Fens, Pryor offers a unique perspective on this complex and threatened landscape. He weaves together strands of archaeology, history, and personal experience into a satisfying narrative portrait that reveals the magic of this often-neglected region.

A richly informative and affectionate book, The Fens is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in England's natural and cultural heritage.
