MALVERN HILLS (Classic Country Connections)

MALVERN HILLS (Classic Country Connections)

by Archie Miles (Author), Archie Miles (Author)

Synopsis

This is one of a series of books which celebrate the rich and varied beauty of the English landscape. It explores the Malvern area, a fertile region through which the River Severn rolls placidly south, past Worcester and towards the Bristol Channel. Rising out of this lush, gentle landscape is the long, jarred barrier of the Malvern Hills - "Elgar country". Sir Edward Elgar, the much-loved English composer, lived for many years at Great Malvern, and the surrounding hills provided inspiration and remained his spiritual home until he died. The author/photographer records the significant places in Elgar's life and seeks out the kind of scenery, on windy hilltop and tranquil riverbank, through which the composer used to ride or roam as a boy, and where he formed the intense love of nature and the English countryside with which his music is charged.
