British Highways And Byways From A Motor Car

by Thomas Dowler Murphy

Published in the early 20th century, 'British Highways And Byways From A Motor Car' by Thomas Dowler Murphy offers a firsthand account of a leisurely summer motoring trip through Britain. The book transcends a mere travelogue by providing insightful observations about the English countryside, towns, and people, enriched by detailed maps and numerous illustrations. Murphy's writing captures the charm of rural England, its historic sites, and the changing social landscapes of the era.
