Summary "Normandy: The Scenery & Romance of Its Ancient Towns, Complete" by Gordon Home is a descriptive travelogue written in the early 20th century. The work aims to transport readers to the picturesque landscapes and historic sites of Normandy, France, providing insights into its towns, architecture, and scenic routes rather than serving as a conventional travel guide. At the start of the book, the author sets the stage with a preface that emphasizes the intention behind the work: to evoke a vivid impression of Normandy through illustrations and rich descriptions. The opening chapters explore the distinctive features of the Normandy region, from its fascinating architecture and rural charm to its history intertwined with England. Home paints a picture of the landscape featuring quaint villages, gothic churches, and historical ruins, demonstrating a connection to both Norman and English heritage, thus highlighting the beauty and romance embedded in the ancient towns he describes.
