    • Virginia Woolf was undoubtedly one of the literary giants of the twentieth century. She was a central figure in the Bloomsbury Group, and her writings were works of astonishing originality. Nigel Nicolson is the son of Vita Sackville-West, who was Virginia Woolf's most intimate friend, and for a short time her lover. He spent many days in her company and he has threaded his recollections of her throughout this unique narrative of her life.

      This is a new edition of an atlas published in Britain in 1611 under the title The Theatre of Great Britaine. The cartographer John Speed had been preparing the individual maps since 1596 and they were issued individually before being collected to form The Theatre which was intended as the topographical section of Speed's The History of Great Britaine. When this was completed, it became the earliest published atlas of the British Isles.

      Rightfully called "the garden of England," the county of Kent can boast of an impressive seacoast bordered by cliffs, small towns of infinite charm, and naturally rich and fertile soil in which greenery flourishes. Combining the best a guidebook has to offer with a history of how the region developed, a born-and-bred Kentishman relates a fascinating tale of a place filled with character and spirit. Breathtaking photographs show majestic landscapes, churches, manors, and farms, and nature at its wildest.
