Hills and the Sea

Hills And The Sea, first published in 1906 to critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic, is a collection of 38 essays spanning several periods of time and travel. In brief yet rich prose, Belloc captures the essence of each place he visits--whether on the gloomy English Fens, or the sunny Provence and Languedoc regions of France, or the sunny Provence and Languedoc regions of France, or the North Sea in a leaky boat.
