Summary "In Unfamiliar England" by Thos. D. Murphy is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the author's extensive journey through lesser-known areas of England, along with forays into Scotland and Ireland, highlighting unique spots and historical sites often overlooked by traditional tourism. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for the author's journey, reflecting on the changing nature of travel and exploration. The narrator contrasts modern convenience with the romantic past of ocean voyages, discussing a recent smooth journey across the Atlantic and his arrival in Plymouth. Upon reflecting on London's vastness and the barely-touched enclaves nearby, the author begins detailing a meandering journey through charming towns and villages, weaving in historical anecdotes, connections to notable figures like William Penn, and picturesque descriptions of the English countryside. The reader is drawn into a scene of well-kept inns, quaint villages, and a rich tapestry of history, as the narrator sets forth on a quest to uncover the country's hidden gems.
