Highways and Byways in Northumbria. By P. Anderson Graham. With
Illustrations by Hugh Thomson. (Macmillan. Is. 6d. net.)—This is a most attractive new volume of a famous series. Mr. Anderson Graham writes with the enthusiasm and local knowledge of a Northumbrian born, and the late Mr. Thomson's numerous illustrations are charming. The author's chief difficulty must have been to select from the innumerable picturesque places and from the store of historical incidents and romantic legends connected with the Border county. He works southward from Berwick along the coast by Lindisfarne and Bamburgh to Tynemouth and Newcastle, and then strikes inland for the Roman Wall, Hexham and Tyndale generally, Redesdale, the Coquet, Alnwick and Morpeth. All them names—a few out of many—have historic associations which Mr. Anderson Graham recalls pleasantly and accurately.
