Holland, Clive. Wessex; painted by Walter Tyndale; described by Clive Holland. *$6. Macmillan.
The Wessex of Mr. Hardy’s novels furnishes the material for Mr. Tyndale’s reproduced paintings. “His paintings are landscapes—glimpses of green spring with apple blossoms on the hills; golden summer meadows, with the willows and rushes and the quiet winding stream; autumn on the moors all red and purple; vistas of country roads with thatched cottages; sweeps of the shore, with the brown shingle and the blue-shadowed sea. Or they are views of sleepy old towns, with the church tower dominating or rolling hills with the sky beyond and a ruin in the middle distance.... The text treats Wessex historically and descriptively by towns and hamlets, and landmarks.” (N. Y. Times.)
“Mr. Holland has a very thorough grip of his subject, regarded from every point of view.”

“At first view Mr. Clive Holland’s book seems to be of the progeny of Hutchins. In the main it is a slight and agreeable infusion of local history made for sojourners and passers-by. Mr. Tyndale’s pictures merit special mention.”

“The author conjures you with all the glories of the country and weaves in the glamour of all its poets and heroes.”
