About this book
Normandy Picturesque is a book by Henry Blackburn, issued as a Travelling Edition with an appendix of routes and list of watering-places. The preface says the body of the work is identical with the Christmas Edition, but that the Appendix contains additional information for the use of travellers. The chapter headed Pont Audemer describes the little town of Pont Audemer, with its quaint old gables, its tottering houses, its Gothic bits, its projecting windows and carved oak galleries.
The text says it does not profess to describe each place on the route suggested, but rather to record a few notes, made at various times during a sojourn in Normandy. The text says that the country round Mortain is not known as well as it deserves is a remark that cannot be too often repeated. The text says it has a strange sound (to say the least that could be said) to hear quiet town-bred godfathers promise that they will take care that a child shall fight under the banner of the cross.
