Summary "Normandy: The Scenery & Romance of Its Ancient Towns, Part 2" by Gordon Home is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. This book offers a detailed exploration of the picturesque landscapes, historic architecture, and romantic towns of Normandy, France. The author provides a vivid description of various towns, including Evreux, Lisieux, Falaise, and Bernay, highlighting their unique features and rich histories while inviting readers to appreciate their serene beauty. In this second part of his work, Home takes readers on a journey through the charming and ancient towns of Normandy, capturing the essence of each location through his lens. He describes the stunning cathedral of Evreux with its blend of architectural styles and the quaint streets of Lisieux lined with timeless timber-framed houses. The narrative flows leisurely as he recounts notable landmarks such as Falaise's imposing castle associated with William the Conqueror and the historical significance of sites like the stone where Henry II knelt for absolution. Home's prose paints a romantic tableau of Normandy's historical sites, enriching readers' understanding of the towns' landscapes and architectural beauty, making it a compelling read for both history enthusiasts and travel lovers alike.
