Аннотация:
A Book of Dartmoor is an exhaustive and comprehensive narrative on the wild scenery of Dartmoor, an upland area in southern England, written by Sabine Baring-Gould. The goal of the work was to give a general idea of the moor and of its antiquities and to suggest rambles made from certain stations on the fringe, or in the heart of this wild and wondrous region. Baring-Gould spent many time in the moor, he talk with the moormen, listened to their tales and songs, and sketched the relics he supposed were Druidical. He attended many archaeological digs of prehistoric settlements and systematically recorded and in some cases restored prehistoric sites.
