The Channel Islands 1904 [Leather Bound]

Henry B Wimbush

4.9/5 (12720 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from The Channel Islands In this volume all that I have attempted is to sketch the history of Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, and Sark, pointing out a few of the many legends and traditions associated with them, the storm and stress through which they have battled, some of the remnants of feudalism which they have managed to preserve, and certain conspicuous men and women who once lived in them. I trust, therefore, that nobody will open the book in the hope of obtaining from it any original information with regard to the trade, the agriculture, the natural history, or the geological formation of the Channel Islands. Mr. Wimbush has painted them as they are - bathed in sunshine, radiant with flowers, busy and well-to-do in this prosperous if prosaic age: I have tried to recall "le souvenir des beaux jours envoles" of these "morceaux de France tombes a lamer et ramasses par l'Angleterre," as Victor Hugo calls them.
