Excerpt from Hadrian's WallYou never can bring in a Wall. Some man or other must present Wall. Midsummer Night's Dream.HE idea of a colour-book on Hadrian's Wall was suggested to me by friends in 1914. Then came the Great War, blotting out all thought of work of this kind.But in 1920 I was taken by these friends along the line of the Wall, and I soon fell a victim to its many attractions. My friends went home, but I found hospitality at the farms and other houses in the neighbourhood, and began to paint at once.Before long I decided to walk the Wall every foot of the way, 73% miles, from sea to sea, being inspired thereto by the example and the record of William Hutton. Many of my readers will need an introduction to this delightful character, whose book - to which I shall often have occasion to refer - is now out of print.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
