England of My Heart : Spring

"England of My Heart: Spring" by Edward Hutton is an early 20th-century travel book that paints a vivid picture of the English countryside. Hutton brings the reader along as he visits England's beautiful landscapes and historical towns. During his journey, he shares his love for England's nature, old buildings, and the feeling of history that's everywhere. Hutton starts his journey from the Tabard Inn in Southwark, just like the pilgrims in "The Canterbury Tales”. He reflects on London as he leaves, showing that he both loves and feels disconnected from the city. As he walks through Kent, he points out the history of places like Dartford and Rochester, remembering saints and important events from the past. Hutton's writing is full of poetic descriptions of nature, architecture, and the heart of England, making the reader appreciate the country's charm as he makes his way to Canterbury.
