Summary

"In Unfamiliar England" by Thos. D. Murphy is an early 20th-century travelogue detailing a grand motor tour through England, as well as parts of Scotland and Ireland, where the author seeks out the undiscovered attractions and significant landmarks beyond the well-trodden tourist paths. Beginning with reflections on modern travel compared with voyages of the past, the book recounts a smooth Atlantic crossing and arrival in Plymouth, before transitioning to discussions on London's expansiveness and the untapped treasures in the surrounding regions. What follows is a winding exploration through captivating towns and villages, filled with historical insights, connections to famous individuals such as William Penn, and vivid portrayals of the beautiful English landscape, altogether inviting the reader into a world of cozy inns, charming villages, and a rich history as the narrator embarks upon their quest to reveal the nation's most precious hidden jewels.
