Baring-Gould is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. The book explores the historical and cultural significance of the Riviera region, particularly Provence and the Ligurian coast, while offering insights into the geography and local flora and fauna. The narrative also likely includes anecdotes and stories about notable individuals and events connected to the area's rich history. The opening of the book sets the stage for a journey through Provence, discussing its significance as a winter resort discovered by Lord Brougham in the 19th century. Baring-Gould elaborates on the region's historical layers, contrasting its modern identity with ancient tales of the Phœnicians, Greeks, and Romans. Through vivid descriptions of the local landscape, flora, and historical events, the author aims to engage winter visitors to the Riviera and deepen their appreciation for the rich, often turbulent history of the area they are exploring.
