Chalk Figures of Wessex

The figures carved into the chalk hills of Wessex together represent a treasury of English history, myth, religion and local pride. Between them they span more than two thousand years of time and imagination. Kent Goodman's practical guide is a gift to the motorist, the rambler, the dreamer, the artist and the poet.
