About this book
The preface presents Normandy through pictures and descriptions intended to convey a clear impression of the province that awaits the visitor. The described route could be followed without covering the same ground for more than five or six miles. The Maison Dieu faces the west end of the church, with a carved front whose details are said to belong to the original construction.
St Lô has a town-crier in a dark blue uniform who carries a drum to draw attention to his announcements. A branch of the Iton runs past the foot of a tower, backed by old houses and crossed by many bridges. The narrator describes grasshoppers whirring in the hedges and a sound that seemed to follow him persistently before merging into the croaking of frogs.
