| Summary | "Nooks and Corners of Old England" by Allan Fea is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores various lesser-known, picturesque locations across England, filled with historical anecdotes and cultural reflections from the author's explorations. The text appears to focus on the charming and often overlooked places, revealing their stories and significance through detailed descriptions and illustrations. At the start of the book, the author reflects on his past wanderings in the English countryside, inspired by old maps to document the nooks and corners he discovered. He sets off on a journey through locales such as Huntingdonshire and Suffolk, sharing interesting historical tidbits, former inns, and quaint towns, while weaving in characterful historical figures and events, like the encounters of Samuel Pepys. The opening portion combines travel narrative with rich local history, hinting at a desire to evoke nostalgia and appreciation for the hidden treasures of England's landscape.
