In Search of Somerset will be the third volume in my In Search of ... series of illustrated journeys through the counties of the south west – following on from In Search of Wiltshire and In Search of Dorset which are currently in production. These are not guide books, rather they are themed explorations of each county, drawing on history, folklore, literature and traditions. The 144 page book will be illustrated throughout in colour with hundreds of new pictures exploring the rich heritage of what Arthur Mee once called 'the crescent county of the south-west'.
