Kent is a charming writer and keen observer of both the land and its people. The book is beautifully and generously illustrated with Kents distinctive woodcuts. n nThe first edition was published to great critical acclaim. New Republic wrote, the land lives. A land where roses are as big as sun-flowers, where gales gnaw against bleak cliffs . . . At the end of the earth, there is the paradox of the dwarf and the giant. The Nation said, Kent has caught the wild beauty of this ominous region -- iron crags ringed with the froth of blown surf, wind-tortured trees, distant peaks incrusted with dazzling snow; but out of the very heart of this bewildering beauty emanates a sense of unseen presences appallingly, implacably hostile to man.
