Virginia Woolf, E.M. Forster, Rupert Brooke, Carrington and L.P. Hartley - and the story of the places that inspired them. Five people famous for their books, art and uncoventional lifestyles in the first half of the 20th century. And five people who were drawn towards special rural landscapes that informed their work with a startling intensity. From their cherished childhood paradises via the clipped lawns of Cambridge to country retreats in Sussex, Jane Brown describes the symbolic importance of the English lanscape when it blends with the creative imagination.
