The book comprises a series of letters addressed to Reverend James Layton and details the author's explorations in Normandy, concentrating primarily on its architectural antiquities, cultural observations, and historical context. The opening of the book introduces Dawson Turner's journey to Dieppe, providing vivid descriptions of the town's landscape, architecture, and inhabitants observed during his visit in 1818. Turner shares his reflections on the contrasting appearances of Dieppe and English seaside towns, the expressions of human activity, and the traditional costumes of the local women. He elaborates on the fishing community of Pollet, highlighting their simple yet distinct lifestyle and attire, while grounding his observations in historical insights and personal anecdotes collected from his travel companions. This rich introductory narrative sets the stage for Turner’s comprehensive exploration of Normandy, illustrating both the historical significance of the region and the author's keen interest in antiquity and local culture.
