Blurb reads:
England West covers the area bounded in the north by the Roman Wall, on the east by the Pennine Range, and in the south by the north bank of the Thames and Welsh borderland, country full of historic scenes and landmarks and the heritage of a great tradition.
The Shakespeare Country, Warwick and Chester, the Cotswolds and Malverns and the Wye Valley are all within its confines. Stately homes and ancient cottages, market places and rural scenes, each with its place in history abound within its borders.
No one has stored up greater riches in knowledge and understanding of interesting places and figures great and small in England's long history than Sydney Jones, whose skill as a topographic artist has earned him the description of the second Hollar. Roaming the countryside, staying at old inns, examining old records, always with sketch and note books recording what he sees, he has made them the study of a lifetime and here he shares his enthusiasm, his knowledge, and his skill with his readers.
England West is the second of a trilogy covering the whole of England. The first England South, is already well known; the third, England East will follow.
