Description

This new book by Pamela Shields explores the connections many writers have or have had with Hertfordshire. Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Ken Follett, Frederick Forsyth, Victoria Glendinning, Graham Greene, John le Carré, Claire Tomalin, George Orwell and Anthony Trollope are all included.

Charles Lamn called the county, ‘Hearty, homely, loving Hertfordshire’ and judging by the number of literary giants who chose, or once chose, to call it home he was not alone in his sentiment. Falling more into the populist history as opposed to literary genre this book is intended as a general introduction for readers who know very little about the authors.
