Summary

"In the West Country" by Francis A. Knight is a journey through the beautiful scenery and historical tales of a region, mostly Devon and Exmoor, in what seems to be the 1800s. The audience gains insight into the allure, customs, and scenic splendor of England, with vibrant descriptions of the land and sea and the inhabitants who depend on them for a living. The narration starts with bright pictures of the coast of Devon, recalling famous people like Charles Kingsley and their experiences in the area. The book mixes sea stories and quiet moments of remembering how these landscapes have stood still in time, calling the reader back to both the peace of the natural world and the full story of human life in England.
