About this book
Sketches of Travel in Normandy and Maine is a book by Edward A. Freeman, with illustrations from drawings by the author and a preface by W.H. Hutton. An editor's note says the first eight and the last four of these sketches appeared in the Saturday Review, the others in the Guardian. The text says a tour in Normandy has an interest of its own, but of a kind which does not make Normandy a desirable choice for a first visit to France.
The text says that a man who goes through Southern Gaul first and visits Normandy afterwards will be struck, not with the points of difference, but with the points of likeness. The text says the captive Duke spent the remaining twenty-eight years of his life in a castle. The text describes the church of Our Lady of Avesnières in a suburb by the river-side, not improved certainly by its modern spire, but keeping a most stately Romanesque apse with surrounding chapels.
