This major study presents the first detailed history of the Chiltern region as a whole, explaining how its unique character and 'ancient countryside' have evolved. Based on the authors' own explorations of the landscape and original research, this book also draws together a wealth of existing scholarship. The Chiltern Story is told with enthusiasm and clarity in a highly readable narrative enhanced by a wealth of carefully chosen or specifically photographed illustrations. The first edition, published in 1992, was so well received that it sold out in a year, leaving a clamour of demand. However, rather than simply reprint the book the authors have made amendments and corrections and incorporated such a wide range of improvements as to constitute a new, revised edition. Already the standard work on the region, its future in that respect is assured.
