The purpose of the book is not historical, certainly not critical. The author assigns
to the spots she touches the fact or fiction which links it especially with the life of the
past. She is anxious to relate, not what actually occurred, but what the country-folk
have believed as occurring; and in pursuing this end she pours out a lavish store of
things amusing, pathetic, often in a high degree romantic, the selection showing a good
appreciation of what takes hold of the heart of the world. Condensed from Nation, 1908.
Illustrated with many photographs.
