CATHEDRAL CITIES OF ENGLAND

George Gilbert authored this book in 1905 and its still a good way to travel to these great cathedrals while sitting in your armchair.

Accompanying Mr. Gilbert's descriptive narratives are 59 color illustrations of the cathedrals of Canterbury, Durham, Lichfield, Oxford, Peterborough, St. Albans, Wells, Worcester, Chicester, Chester, Rochester, Ripon, Ely, Gloucester, Hereford, Lincoln, Bath, Salisbury, Exeter, Norwich, St. Paul's and Ludgate Hill, York, Winchester, and Westminister Abbey.

This book is the next best thing to being there. And after having read it, you may decide to call your travel agent and make arrangements to see these beautiful cities in person.

In the meantime, you'll find this great book in the World History section, shelf O-3.
